About FinLit: Invest & Budget Sim
Money is one of the most important things you'll ever manage—so why doesn't school teach it? FinLit is here to fix that. FinLit makes financial literacy simple, fun, and something that actually sticks. Through short, gamified lessons you can finish in just a few minutes a day, you'll learn how money really works: how to budget, how to save, how to build credit, and how investing works—all without the boring textbook feel. WHY FINLIT? Most people leave school knowing algebra but not how to make a budget or read a credit score. FinLit closes that gap with bite-sized lessons built for real life, made for teens and young adults who want to feel confident with their own money. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN - Budgeting — Plan where your money goes and stay in control. - Saving — Build habits that grow your savings over time. - Credit — Understand how credit works and how to build it the right way. - Investing basics — Get comfortable with core investing concepts before you ever risk a real dollar. FEATURES - LEARN — Choose your own learning pathways and complete lessons at your own pace. - INVESTING SIMULATOR — Practice investing with paper money in a risk-free, gamified simulator. No real money, ever—just a safe place to learn how markets move. - SHOP — Spend the coins you earn from lessons on fun items and cosmetics. (Coins are earned in-app—there's nothing to buy with real money.) - SOCIAL — Add friends, view profiles, and climb the leaderboards to stay motivated. - PROFILE — Track your progress, earn XP and coins, and collect badges and achievements as you level up. HOW IT WORKS Pick a pathway, complete quick daily lessons, and earn XP and coins as you go. Spend your coins in the Shop, test your knowledge in the Investing Simulator, and compete with friends—all while building money skills that last a lifetime. WHO IT'S FOR FinLit is built for teens and young adults who never got a real financial education—and anyone who wants to feel more confident managing money. No experience needed. Just a few minutes a day. NO ADS. NO IN-APP PURCHASES. NO CATCH. FinLit is focused on one thing: helping you understand money. There's nothing to buy and nothing pulling your attention away — just the skills you need to take control of your financial future. Start learning today and become the person who actually gets money.
What’s new
Version 1.1.0 · Updated October 12, 2026
New: the NC Economics and Personal Finance course (Beta) Taking Economics and Personal Finance in a North Carolina high school? FinLit now has a full course built around the state's EPF standards, inside the Learn tab. Switch from Pathways to NC EPF at the top of the screen. - All 12 units, from scarcity and economic systems to taxes, credit, investing and being a smart consumer - Short lessons that teach an idea, then let you try it on real-looking paystubs, loans, budgets and graphs - Practice sets that focus on the standards you're weakest at - Unit checkpoints, section reviews, and a timed final exam simulator, with every answer reviewed at the end - Build your own practice test from the units your class has covered - Five calculators: paycheck, tax, loan, savings growth and budget - A mastery dashboard that shows how you're doing on each standard - Your course progress saves to your account, so it follows you to another device The course is in beta. Teachers are still reviewing its questions, so if something looks wrong or confusing, tap the flag on any lesson or question to tell us. FinLit is not affiliated with or endorsed by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) or any school district. Also in this update - Fixed leagues: weekly promotions and demotions now stick instead of being undone the next time you played - Needs vs. Wants has new lessons, built in the same step-by-step format as the EPF course - Answer choices now appear in a varied order, and true/false questions across Learn have been rewritten so the answer isn't always "True" - New animations and feedback when you answer, which respect your device's Reduce Motion setting - Better color contrast for correct and wrong answers and other text, in both light and dark mode - Fixes and corrections to lesson content across Learn
