Testimonials
"The Durango 9R district has worked with "Know Your Dough" to partner in the implementation of important, common sense financial literacy skills all students need to know and understand. This dynamic partnership has allowed our teachers to partner with local community experts to share a depth of knowledge and learning in critical life skills of managing personal finance that are relevant to students in our schools."

“In the game we learned about how to use your money wisely. What I mean by using your money wisely is you work and pay yourself first and pay your expenses. Which is what you call budgeting. If you save and you can pay all your expenses off quickly you can earn more money so you can save more money. Once you earn enough money you can invest and earn more money from your investments. Once you have enough money invested you can “win” in life by having financial freedom. Which is when your investments make more money than you pay in your expenses.”
