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 $250 saving $55 versus buying individually.
