About

Thirty states have passed laws requiring high schoolers to take a personal finance class before they graduate. But textbooks teach money in the abstract, and financial news is written for adults who already know the vocabulary. A lot of teens end up learning about money from social media accounts that are selling something.

The Dime fills that gap. Every school day, it takes the biggest money story, explains it in plain English, and connects it to your life: gas, jobs, interest rates, your first paycheck, your first investment.

What's in every issue

• Top story: the day's biggest money news, and why it matters to you
• Scoreboard: how the markets did, in ten seconds
• Your money: one personal finance lesson tied to the news
• Stock of the day: one company you know, and what I think about it
• Pop quiz and class discussion: check what you learned, then argue about it
• Last bell: one fun business story to end on

Who writes this

Your name, school and grade, and why you started The Dime. Two or three sentences in your own words.

How it's made

I use AI tools to pull the day's market data and draft a summary of the news. I check the facts, choose what goes in, and write my own take on the stock of the day. Every issue lists its sources.

Not investment advice

The Dime is for learning. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell anything. Talk to a parent or a qualified professional before you invest.
