This is what a FinMango week looks like.
Three minutes inside a real classroom — the questions students actually ask, and the moment compound interest finally clicks.
Inside the five days.
From investment basics to practical mastery in one week. Students learn compound interest, how to read a mutual fund, how to benchmark it against the market, and how to sidestep the mistakes that quietly cost people decades of returns. They leave knowing which account to open and how to open it — a curriculum sharpened by feedback from 16,000+ students.
Compound interest & growth
How small, steady contributions snowball into life-changing sums — and why starting early matters more than starting big.
Fund research & analysis
Reading expense ratios, returns, and holdings well enough to tell a great fund from an expensive one.
Avoiding common pitfalls
The behavioral traps — market timing, high fees, panic selling — and the habits that sidestep them.
Brokerage & account setup
Choosing a brokerage and opening the right account, walked through step by step until it's actually done.
Market index comparison
Benchmarking against the S&P 500 and other indexes to judge what a fund's performance is really worth.
Tax-free investing
Using Roth IRAs and other tax-advantaged accounts to keep far more of what those decades of growth earn.
We'll teach the week. Or you can.
We come in and run all five days ourselves, at no cost to your school. Would rather teach it yourself? Every file is already open — copy it, edit it, no permission needed.
16,000 reviews. Not one of them edited.
After every program, students review it anonymously. We publish every response exactly as written — the raves, the shrugs, and the criticism. The whole spreadsheet is public.
Everything we teach, open to everyone.

The man who teaches the week.
Bob Gillingham, a 1969 graduate of the University of Illinois, has built an impressive legacy as both a successful auto dealership owner and an influential educator. His journey into education began in 1997 when he started teaching Junior Achievement to high school students, focusing on business startup principles.
By 2003, he had refined his curriculum to teach students how to invest in the stock market—a topic that has since become his primary focus. Bob has expanded his reach with FinMango, teaching approximately 8,000 students annually across 27 high schools and colleges in five different states.
A teacher whose impact is measured in careers changed.

Bob Notes.
Classroom moments, market lessons, and snapshots from the road — posted by Bob himself, whenever there's something worth sharing. No filter, no schedule.
Bob's notes are his own — personal reflections and views, not official positions of FinMango, and never financial advice.
Financial literacy shouldn't depend on who your parents are. That's why we teach it in person — and why we never put a price on the rest of it.
Why we show up every week
Bring the week to your school.
We'll teach it, or we'll hand you everything you need to teach it yourself. Either way it costs your school nothing.
