Episode Details

A California high school freshman just got a crash course in real-world money management—and it wasn’t pretty. Nathan Neff learned the hard way that budgets don’t magically refill, speeding tickets hit your wallet fast, and even what you wear matters when cash is tight. His experience mirrors a sweeping statewide change: starting in 2031, every California high schooler will need to pass a personal finance class to graduate. Programs like these, led by financial pros who see firsthand how many families are still flying blind, aim to close that gap before it’s too late. The goal? Get kids thinking about saving, spending wisely, and building a secure future—not just surviving adulthood.
