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

So, when will my kids be able to understand a 1040 and then do my taxes?

The content is just poorly written and incomprehensible. This article doesn't even get into the topic. https://learnfinly.com/learn/types-of-accounts
