Finalmente Finanzas

place Mexico

De cero a financiero: lo que deberías aprender en la escuela.

Los jóvenes en México egresan de la preparatoria sabiendo álgebra, pero sin idea de cómo hacer un presupuesto, pagar impuestos o evitar deudas. Finalmente Finanzas es un programa educativo dinámico que resuelve esta brecha enseñando habilidades financieras reales como presupuestar, usar el crédito, declarar impuestos e invertir de forma práctica, entretenida y relevante.

Target group
I hope that Mexican schools will begin offering financial education programs for high school students, and I envision Finalmente Finanzas being used as a foundation or inspiration for those initiatives.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

I created this innovation to empower young people in Mexico to face their financial future with confidence, not fear. Every day, I see how many adults struggle with money not because they’re irresponsible, but because they were never taught how to manage it. In Mexico, our education system doesn’t prepare us for real-life financial decisions, and that needs to change.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

Finalmente Finanzas is a dynamic after-school program that teaches high school students in Mexico real-world money skills through storytelling, role-play, games, and simulations. Each class covers essential topics like budgeting, taxes, credit, and investing in a way that's practical, engaging, and youth-centered.

How has it been spreading?

The program began as a pilot in my own school, where it received enthusiastic feedback from both students and teachers. Encouraged by the results, I began reaching out to other schools, and eventually a college opened its doors for me to teach there as well. I’m currently working on expanding the project to reach more young people, and I truly believe it has the potential to positively impact many lives.

If I want to try it, what should I do?

To try the Finalmente Finanzas program, simply send us a message on Instagram and we’ll get back to you with all the information you need. Please note that, for now, the program is specifically designed for Mexico. However, we are actively working on adapting it for other countries soon.
