Investing education that clicks.
Free. Interactive. Built for the classroom and anyone curious enough to click.
Why doesn't everyone invest?
Investing is the single most powerful driver of long-term wealth, but millions of Americans never start. It's not a motivation problem, it's an identity problem.
Even when you have the money, if you didn't grow up in an investing household or learn about it in school, you may not see yourself as an investor.
Good news! Financial literacy is becoming a high school graduation requirement in more states every year. The challenge? Investing is the topic students and teachers struggle with most.
The Freedometer lets everyone explore investing in a low-stakes environment through interactive modules and real-world simulations. Start to see yourself as an investor one click at a time.
What if you started investing at 18 instead of 28? That's the question every student answers for themselves inside the Freedometer, and the ten years in between change everything.
Built on 30+ years of Motley Fool investing expertise.
Behavior change takes more than information. The Freedometer is built around three things that move people from fearful to prepared.
Core concepts, explained plainly
Compounding, risk, and the other fundamentals, taught the way a Fool explains things: no jargon, no condescension.
Self-trust, not just theory
The ability to make a real decision as a first-time investor, not just recite the concept behind one.
A clear next step
Knowledge and confidence should lead to action. We make sure users are ready to take it.
Preparing to Invest
Build a long-term growth mindset
Investing rewards patience and consistency. That's a mindset you can build before you ever put money on the line.
Learn the language of investing
Become comfortable with the vocabulary that makes investing click instead of confuse.
Risk, return, and compounding
The three forces that decide where your money ends up, and how they interact with each other over time.
Confidence and readiness to invest
Once you understand what investing really means and see a simple path to get started, it's easier to imagine yourself on the journey.
The Motley Fool has helped everyday people build wealth through investing since 1993. The Fool Community Foundation is carrying that mission forward with groundbreaking investing education, free for all.
