What is What’s Next?
What’s Next is a student-led initiative that helps teens build financial confidence and independence. Through interactive tools, relatable guides, and peer advice, we make adulting a little less confusing—and a lot more doable.
Who is What’s Next for?
It’s designed for high schoolers and college-bound students who want to learn the real-life stuff school doesn’t always teach: saving, investing, budgeting, and planning for the future.
How is this different from other finance education websites?
We’re built by students for students. Our tools are interactive, our content is peer-written, and we focus on relatable choices—like whether to save for prom or start an emergency fund.
Is What’s Next free to use?
Yes! Everything on our site is 100% free. We’re supported by grants and partners who believe in making financial literacy accessible for all.
I’m not great at math—can I still learn this stuff?
Absolutely. Our guides break things down without jargon or complicated formulas. If you can text your friends, you can get smarter with your money.
Can I use your materials for my classroom or club?
Definitely. Teachers, club advisors, and student leaders are welcome to share and use our resources. Just give us credit, and let us know if you want custom content.
