A free single-session lesson on the most common financial surprise a teenager gets — and the easiest way to see whether the Money Smarts line suits your student.

The first paycheck is almost always smaller than expected. This lesson puts two real-format pay stubs in front of your student, names every deduction, and has them work out exactly where the difference went.

Do it before the first job rather than after. Beforehand it is preparation; afterwards it is just an explanation.
