“Standing on a whale, fishing for minnows.” 🐋 Founding Teacher Debra Wilson gave us a great way to think about financial education. Young people already have a huge investing advantage: time. The Freedometer helps make that opportunity easier to see. freedometer.org

Risk doesn’t look the same for everyone. Time, goals, comfort level, inflation. It all matters. A quick clip from our FoolFest ’26 breakout session, with plenty more in the full conversation. 👇 ➤ 49764000.hs-sites.com/share/… #FoolFest26 #FinancialLiteracy

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. ➤ freedometer.org

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. ➤ foolfoundation.org/freedomet…

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. 💛 foolfoundation.org/if-fund/d…

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. Through @3rdDecadeInc, she found support, guidance, and confidence. Read more: foolfoundation.org/if-fund/3…
