BetterMe Financial Literacy
The BetterMe Financial Literacy program allows students to fast-forward through 35 years of life and all the financial decisions that are made through our boardgame simulation.
Along the way, they’ll discover:
✔ How to budget and track spending
✔ Why debt traps are so dangerous
✔ How to balance money with happiness
✔ How to set goals for financial freedom
It’s the money class we wish we had at their age — fun, practical, and eye-opening.

Life Skills & Financial Literacy
Through Simulation
BetterMe is an immersive life skills simulation using a financial board game, where students make real-world financial and lifestyle decisions — earning "Happy Coins", managing cash flow, and tracking assets versus liabilities.
This innovative programme fosters both financial wealth and emotional well being, bridging the critical gap between classroom theory and practical financial competence, and preparing students for the realities of adult life through engaging, hands on learning.
