Event Decks are what separate Ledger & Learn™ from every worksheet-based financial literacy course. Students don't learn about emergencies. They experience them — inside a budget they built themselves, with money they actually tracked.
A car repair hits in Week 3. A bonus arrives in Week 5. Prices rise in Week 6. Every event has a consequence that follows the student forward. The decisions compound — exactly like real life.
Your car needs brake work. Cost: $680. You need it to get to work. What do you do?
Your manager awards you a $400 performance bonus. Save, spend, or pay down debt?
Groceries up 15%. Gas up $0.40/gallon. Your income hasn't changed. Adjust your budget.
Your landlord raises rent by $150/month starting next month. What moves in your budget?
Every program puts students inside a simulation where they make real financial decisions — before those decisions cost real money. The consequence follows them forward, exactly like life does.
Vocabulary, skills, and concepts carry forward from program to program. A student who completes Money Grows enters Money Ready already knowing what a ledger, a budget, and compound interest are.
Designed for homeschool co-ops, independent learners, and classroom use. 65–90 minutes per week. Everything included — no subscriptions, no add-ons, no surprises.
All five Ledger & Learn™ programs are available now. Buy a single course, or lock in the entire twenty-year pathway with the Complete Bundle for $349 — saving $146 versus buying individually.
