The earlier students start learning about investing, the more time gets to work in their favor. 💛
Tara Kelley is helping shape the Freedometer with real classrooms in mind, so investing can feel more practical, understandable, and possible.

Some financial lessons start early. Others come later. But what if we started sooner?
In our latest #FoolishLeaders spotlight, Board Member Sylvia Sierra explains why early investing education matters for the next generation.
Investing shouldn’t feel out of reach. 💛
The Freedometer is better because teachers like Travis Towne are helping shape it. 💛
As one of our Founding Teachers, Travis is helping us build something that actually works in real classrooms.
Now we’re looking for more educators to join in.

A $2,600 hospital bill became $0 in just one week.
For Mikela, that meant more than a lower balance. It meant breathing room, relief, and one less thing to fear.
Now Mikela shares Dollar For with clients, helping more people find that same support. 💛

Different settings, same mission: making financial education more accessible
Danielle’s story is a reminder that when it comes to finance, many people aren’t behind, they just were never taught where to start.

Sued for a car she couldn't even drive...

Let's negotiate a medical bill in real time!!
I mention that you can negotiate medical bills a lot & people don’t seem to believe me. I’ll get comments or DMs from folks that don’t think it works so I decided to show it live.

We already know a lot of hospitals create unnecessary hoops to get financial assistance BUT when the person answering the phone is rude and unhelpful and trying to make me feel like an idiot for asking… WHAT ARE WE EVEN DOING!?
Sorry to all the patients that have to go through this. We are trying our best to make it better.

A new job. A marriage. A house. Then a layoff.
When life changed overnight, Ramiah Jackson had something to fall back on: the financial habits she built through @3rdDecadeInc.
