"This course finally answered the question every student asks: When will I ever use this math?"

Financial Literacy—Reimagined

Too often, personal finance programs focus on terminology and abstract concepts that influence consumer behaviors.

Lifestyle Math flips financial literacy on its head—tying real numbers to students’ goals and aspirations instead of solely teaching definitions from a textbook.

As students calculate the cost of their envisioned lifestyle, they explore:

  • Credit and debt
  • Banking and investing
  • Taxes, retirement savings, and insurance
  • Housing, transportation, and lifestyle trade-offs

The result? Learning that’s personal, practical, and lasting.

Working with numbers that actually matter to them motivates students and keeps them engaged.
