What the map doesn't show

A law on the books isn't the same as a lesson in a classroom.

76%: Most students, eventually. Once every current law is fully in effect, about three in four U.S. public high school students will be required to take the course.
2031: Eventually can be a long time. Many of the newest laws don't fully apply until the Class of 2031. If you're in high school now, yours may arrive too late.
20 + D.C.: Everywhere else, it depends. Whether you learn budgeting, credit or investing comes down to your district and the electives you pick.

120 lessons on budgeting, banking, credit, investing, taxes and insurance. Free for every student and teacher.
