Is making more money always the answer?
An opening discussion — wealth is built through habits and decisions, not just income.
Common Cents is a members' society for financial literacy — free monthly meetings, in person and online, open to the whole community.
Our mission is to equip the next generation with the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills to make informed financial decisions — through accessible education and community outreach that helps people navigate money with purpose, build lasting habits, and create opportunities for their future.
As former soccer teammates, we learned to balance our lives between soccer, school, time, and money. Along the way, we realized high school teaches a lot — but not how to spend strategically, build savings, invest, or work toward financial freedom.
Our first meeting opens with a question, not a lecture: why do some people making $40,000 retire comfortably while others making $200,000 live paycheck to paycheck?
An opening discussion — wealth is built through habits and decisions, not just income.
Gross pay, net pay, taxes, and where the rest of your $60k actually goes.
$600/mo job, a car payment, and a savings goal. Small groups, no single right answer.
Membership is free and open to the whole community. Bring a friend, or join from home.
