About Money Instructor
Teaching and learning about money — for over two decades.
Money Instructor has been a leading resource for financial education since 2002. We help educators, parents, students, and individuals teach and learn the money skills that matter in everyday life.
Our Mission
Our goal is to empower people to make informed financial decisions. We do that by publishing clear, practical resources on personal finance, money management, investing, business, and career skills — designed for both the classroom and everyday life.
When it comes to money, knowledge is the best currency. Whether you are introducing a child to coins for the first time or planning for retirement, we want the next step to feel a little less intimidating.
Who We Serve
- Adults and families making everyday money decisions — budgeting, saving, retirement, Social Security, Medicare, taxes, insurance, and benefits.
- Educators and parents teaching money skills to K–12 students, including special education, life skills, and adult education classrooms.
- Students and new earners learning the basics of paychecks, banking, credit, and investing for the first time.
- Professionals and institutions looking for reliable financial literacy materials to share with the people they serve.
What You’ll Find Here
The new Financial Topics section covers the everyday money decisions adults face — from Social Security and Medicare to saving, investing, credit and debt, insurance, taxes, housing, benefits, estate planning, and scams & fraud protection.
Our Teaching Resources section offers lessons, lesson plans, worksheets, interactive activities, instructional games, and articles for classroom and home use — from elementary money recognition all the way through high school personal finance and consumer math.
Our History
Money Instructor started in 2002 as a source of money lessons and worksheets for teachers, when personal finance education was still uncommon in many classrooms. It grew into one of the most widely used online financial literacy resources for K–12 and adult education. Over time, Money Instructor expanded beyond classroom resources to include practical financial education for adults, bringing its educational materials together in one site.
Today, Money Instructor includes more than 500 teaching pages, over 100 worksheet generators, dozens of free printable classroom resources, and a ten-unit personal finance curriculum spanning roughly 50 class periods. Its curriculum includes state-specific standards crosswalks, while its growing adult financial education library covers Social Security, Medicare, taxes, benefits, saving, investing, credit, and other everyday money decisions.
Modern Tools, Trusted Foundation
We continue to make use of new technologies, including artificial intelligence, to enhance the way we deliver financial literacy education — while keeping the same focus on clear, accurate, and approachable explanations that brought people here in the first place.
Technology can assist our research, production, and educational tools, but accuracy remains our responsibility. Time-sensitive financial and benefits information is checked against authoritative sources, and we update material when laws, rules, limits, or program requirements change.
Education for Informed Decisions
Money Instructor is an education site. Nothing here is personal financial, tax, legal, insurance, or medical advice, and it is not a substitute for a professional who knows your situation. Our aim is to explain how things work clearly enough that you can ask better questions and make your own decisions with confidence.
