Yeah it doesn’t really make sense. Very wordy and doesn’t really clearly explain the types of accounts. Those should be the first thing you layout.
If you’re aim is kids you probably want to start with a story about something they can relate to and how the different types of accounts help. The reading level feels like it’s targeting college+ but not clearly.
A checking account is this. This is what is helpful for, this is its down side. Here’s a savings account here’s a high yield. Here’s an investment account etc.
I built Finly because school covers personal finance for one semester and most kids forget it by graduation. I wanted something that stays useful — lessons you can come back to when you actually need them.
It has 90+ lessons across budgeting, credit, taxes, investing, and finance careers (IB, VC, PE, quant). Split into two age tiers: 8-12 and 13-17 with different content for each. XP system, streaks, leaderboard, and a stock portfolio simulator where you invest $10,000 in real historical data and watch it play out.
No account needed to start. No ads, no paywall, ever. Incorporated as a nonprofit.
Built with Next.js, Supabase, Vercel. 190 Playwright tests. Happy to answer questions about the build or the content
Did you vibe code this? I see people ask all the time “so where are all the vibe coded tools and softwares that are being created by this productivity boost???” Maybe this is one of them and they can begin to see the value. If not, it’s even more impressive.
Great job from what I can tell. I’ve wanted something like this since my early twenties when I realized I had no financial literacy and I thought schools should be required to teach it.
The content is just poorly written and incomprehensible.
This article doesn't even get into the topic.

Which part lost you? The lesson is written for 8-12 year olds so I tried to keep it simple, but if it's confusing I want to fix it

Edit: love the idea though!
Have you written everything? Or is all generated by AI? Sorry for asking, but it sounds very weirdly structured for something aimed to 8-12 year olds.
So, when will my kids be able to understand a 1040 and then do my taxes?
It's actually on there @ learnfinly.com/learn/filing-taxes-first-time walks through the 1040 line by line. Won't replace a CPA but covers the basics.
