Moneyling NS-12 Savings Course

About the Course

Saving is where financial habits turn into lifelong security.
In Moneyling: Saving, students explore how small, consistent decisions build a foundation for financial stability and future goals. Through the experiences of relatable characters, learners see saving not as a restriction — but as a strategy for freedom and opportunity.

Cari learns to build an emergency fund and compare savings accounts with different interest rates. Richie discovers how inflation can erode the value of money and why choosing the right savings vehicle matters. Amelia navigates employer-sponsored retirement programs and learns the long-term benefits of “paying yourself first.” Beatriz compares traditional and Roth IRAs while planning for education and healthcare savings. Mallory examines how taxes, fees, and federal protections impact saving outcomes, while Marquis uncovers how technology can automate saving and overcome emotional spending triggers.

Aligned with all NS-12 Saving standards, this course equips students with practical tools to manage short- and long-term goals, understand the impact of inflation, evaluate savings products, and recognize behavioral factors that influence financial success. By combining storytelling with real-world examples, Moneyling: Saving inspires students to take control of their future — one smart decision at a time.

The information presented in this course is for educational purposes only and is not intended as financial, investment, or legal advice. Students should not interpret any examples or scenarios as recommendations to buy, sell, or hold specific securities or financial products. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Participants are encouraged to consult a qualified financial advisor or professional before making any personal investment decisions.
