My Financial Life

Live a whole financial life before you graduate.

47 years. Hundreds of decisions. One financial life.

My Financial Life is a story-driven simulation for high school classrooms. Students go from their first paycheck all the way to retirement, one decision at a time, and live with what they choose.

Where it all lands

At 65, every student prints their own Life Story.

Forty-seven years of choices, summed up on one page. It's the moment students see what all those small decisions added up to.

  • Total interest paid on loans and credit cards
  • How big the retirement account grew
  • Family, homes, vacations, and generosity
  • Print it or save it as a PDF

Not a worksheet. Not a gimmick.

A lot of free financial literacy material is either dry or a flashy one-off calculator. MFL is built to hold a class for weeks.

A story students care about

A best friend who always has a fun, expensive idea. A spouse with opinions. Kids who grow up and need cars. The money matters because the people do.

Real math underneath

Loans, interest, insurance, taxes, investing, and retirement are calculated from each student's own decisions, not canned outcomes.

Different every time

Random life events and branching choices mean two students in the same class rarely end up in the same place. That makes for great discussion.

Two ways to play

Classroom mode keeps everyone on the same timeline for whole-class pacing. Individual mode adds more variety for homeschool and independent play.

Made for easy use in a school setting.

Built for school laptops and tablets, and district privacy rules, from day one.
