I built Finly because school covers personal finance for one semester and most kids forget it by graduation. I wanted something that stays useful — lessons you can come back to when you actually need them.
It has 90+ lessons across budgeting, credit, taxes, investing, and finance careers (IB, VC, PE, quant). Split into two age tiers: 8-12 and 13-17 with different content for each. XP system, streaks, leaderboard, and a stock portfolio simulator where you invest $10,000 in real historical data and watch it play out.
No account needed to start. No ads, no paywall, ever. Incorporated as a nonprofit.
Built with Next.js, Supabase, Vercel. 190 Playwright tests. Happy to answer questions about the build or the content
Update: rewrote all 50 foundation and real-world lessons based on the feedback here. Definitions first, real numbers, concrete examples. The types-of-accounts lesson is already updated. Thanks to everyone who pushed back on this, it made the product better
Love the no-paywall aspect to this. We need to normalize financial talk and education on this topic. According to a recent Acorns report, "44% of Americans (and 53% of young adults) believe that simply ignoring financial decisions reduces their stress." That is a scary finding.
