Short 15-minute Financial Wellness Modules
Young adults want information quickly and on demand. Rather than working through our long educational modules, FoolProof Fundamentals consists of a reshaped educational approach: we created short 15-minute financial wellness modules on a variety of topics, ranging from budgeting & saving to gambling and from credit to money and scams. These modules focus on visual appealing content, combined with short videos, and straight to the point tips.
On-demand Financial Wellness Education
On-demand financial wellness education is the way to reach young adults, because it delivers accessible, bite-sized learning, tailored to modern attention spans and busy lifestyles. Unlike traditional formats, these modules allow users to engage with complex financial concepts quickly, and at their own pace, often using visual storytelling, real-life examples, and mobile-friendly formats to enhance understanding and retention. Our approach democratizes financial literacy by making expert insights available anytime, anywhere, and encourages consistent learning through easily digestible content.

How Can You Help FoolProof Fundamentals?
First, send any young adult that needs financial wellness training to our program at foolproofme.org/fundamentals. They'll thank you later.
Next, we your help to do 2 things:
We need funds to keep developing mini modules on important financial and consumer related topics.
Fintech keeps adding new (online or contactless) payments options to their portfolio. We need to be sure we can help young people keep up and avoid (new) financial pitfalls.We need your help in getting Fundamentals to people in (y)our communities.
People, especially young people, won't go out and look for financial education unless they're already in trouble. If we get Fundamentals, with its accessible, bite-sized learning, out there more, the better it will be for these (young) people. Please share any ideas on how you think we can promote Fundamental soul there.

By breaking away from the crowd
The FoolProof Foundation creates behavior changing educational content because of our unique approach to financial education. FoolProof teaches what other organizations cannot—and do not—because other major resources are largely funded and shaped by businesses that profit when consumers make mistakes. Think about that.
FoolProof is the only major financial literacy and life skills resources in the world based on teaching healthy skepticism and caution when making decisions that impact your money or your wellbeing.
