The Freedometer is officially heading to schools this fall! π
We built this simulation to change the way students learn about money, and we are teaming up with @TRanzetta and @NextGenPF to help us get it into high school classrooms.

Confirmed: We actually like each other in person. π
Zoom creates the connection, but being in the same room creates the momentum. Nothing beats that post-hangout inspiration. Ready to get back to it!

Tim kept showing up.
Raising four kids. Paying down past-due rent. Month by month.
When $600 was all that remained, @nbshare, one of our ImpactFool nonprofits, helped him finish what he started.

Students memorize formulas. π
But most never learn how investing works.
The Freedometer is coming to classrooms this fall.
It teaches investing through interactive, real-world decisions and is built for different types of learners.

The math just didn't work. Childcare cost more than the paycheck. So Cathy built a romantic picnic business for military couples instead.
She needed just $400 to make it real. @nbshare made it happen. This is exactly the kind of nonprofit our ImpactFool Fund proudly supports.π
Only 1 in 3 high schoolers can answer basic financial literacy questions. Investing is where they score worst. π§ πΈ
We're working on changing that with our Freedometer. When did you start investing? Vote below! π±

Marcus missed two paychecks to hold his wife's hand in her final weeks. Back at work as a grieving single dad, he faced past-due rent. @nbshare, one of our ImpactFool Fund nonprofits, stepped in with the exact short-term bridge this family needed. π

Loretta lost everything in a fire. She wasnβt looking for a handout, but she couldn't afford a spatula or sheets to start over. One in three families can't cover a $400 emergency. Solving these hurdles is why @nbshare is an IF Fund nonprofit. See more: β‘οΈ https://t.co/kQJENtbX8w
We recently asked a room full of adults how many of them learned to invest in high school.
Only three βwent up.
Not a personal failing. A broken system. π We just gave the world a sneak peek at how we are fixing it. Full story and video on the blog: https://t.co/hW6XveClQA
Most people start from survival, not comfort.
But like this Fool Member said, itβs a spectrum. Every dollar saved puts more ground between you and the worst case. More say in what comes next.
Thatβs financial freedom. π

We keep asking Fools what financial freedom means to them.
Julie summed it up better than most: the choice to work less, travel, and stop worrying about money. Just a cushion between you and the stress.
What does it mean to you? π
Itβs the final day of #AmericaSavesWeek 2026! Todayβs theme, Your Story, Your Future, reminds us that your financial future isnβt written - itβs created one step at a time. Start by taking the @AmericaSaves Pledge: https://t.co/VG2FjJfOL7 #ASW2026
