Why FinLit
A different kind of money education.
Schools don't teach this
Most people leave school without ever learning how a credit score works, how to budget, or why investing early changes everything. FinLit fills that gap with focused financial literacy education for the topics that matter most
One on one means it's actually about you
No generic videos or group classes. Every session is built around your current situation and your future goals.
Your coach has been there
Zev graduated from Syracuse University with a B.S. in Economics in 2024 and realized the same thing you did: nobody taught us this stuff.
About
Hi, I'm Zev.
For the past 7 years, I've been teaching myself financial literacy skills and habits in order to take control of my finances. After hundreds of hours spent researching and learning, I realized that this should really be taught in schools alongside the other fundamental courses.
I started FinLit because I don't want anyone else to feel that way. As a financial literacy coach, I work with young adults and financial beginners on the things that actually matter: how to make your money work for you, understand the basic money skills that follow you for life, and feel confident about your finances for the first time.
