Think Like an Economist, Teach Personal Finance Better

April 7, 2027

Empower students to make sound personal finance decisions by asking questions an economist would ask:

What’s the extra benefit, and what’s the extra cost?

What is the price telling us?

What does the evidence show?

We’ll apply each question to credit, to saving and investing, and to financial claims that sound too good to be true. No economics background required. You’ll leave with a one-page thinking guide your students can use all semester.

Five U.S.-based Econful members will win a $25 Amazon gift card.
