“I launched Finance for Life because I saw how many teens (including myself) were missing out on learning skills that really matter. We deserve to understand how money works and how the world works."

“I created Finance for Life because I wanted to help make money skills less confusing and more empowering. Most of us never get taught this stuff, and I think that needs to change.”

Who We Are
Finance for Life is a student-led initiative based in Madison, Wisconsin, focused on teaching real-world finance, business, and global economic awareness to youth.
We believe financial education should be practical, relatable, and accessible — not something you only learn after high school. Through interactive workshops, global case studies, and entrepreneurial challenges, we’re helping teens build the skills to manage money, launch ideas, and understand the economy that shapes their lives.
