The kids get paid, learn about checking accounts, and invest in index funds in their Roth IRAs.

Very neat program, definitely will be life changing for many. I wish that some financial literacy was taught in all high schools.

That's amazing, it's really going to make a difference for all those kids, and probably many of their families as well. Hopefully they are able to expand the program to more schools, with such a promising start.

This sounds wonderful. I like how actual money is involved to help the lessons really stick. I vaguely remember doing some stock market game stuff in math class back in the day but it still seemed pretty abstract with no skin in the game.
