What They Should Have Taught You In School

The money lessons school skipped, explained in plain English with simple whiteboard videos for teens and people in their 20s.

Learn how to budget without feeling broke, build an emergency fund, pay off debt with the snowball or avalanche method, understand student loans and financial aid, and start investing with your 401(k) match and a Roth IRA, in the order that actually works.

My take: most people should stay away from buy now, pay later and from carrying a credit card balance. If you can't pay for it with money you already have, it isn't in the budget yet.
