Money Skills Lab exists to teach young people the money skills school leaves out — with the depth of a finance professional and the clarity a 13-year-old actually needs.

Founder & lead instructor
After 27 years in finance — including four years as a company CFO and more than two decades managing my own investment portfolio — I kept meeting bright young people who had never been taught how money actually works. Not because they couldn’t grasp it, but because no one ever showed them.
Money Skills Lab is my answer: take what professionals know, and teach it to teens in plain, practical language — before they make the expensive mistakes most of us learned the hard way. The goal isn’t to create traders. It’s to raise a generation that budgets, saves, invests sensibly, and never falls for a scam.
Every concept explained the way you’d explain it to someone you care about — no jargon, no lectures.
Activities, weekly challenges, and a capstone project so knowledge turns into habit.
We teach how money works — we never sell products or give individual investment advice.
