Life 01
First Job
A café paycheck, a room at home, and $680 to your name.
Objective
Make the month-by-month calls and see what they add up to.
- Your first paycheck
- The envelope
- The setback
- Moving out
- Can you afford it?
- The long game
Six chapters
A replayable financial-life game
Practice money before it’s real.
Choose a life. Play it one dealt month at a time — paychecks, bills, decisions, surprises. What you choose persists, the consequences resurface, and eventually the life reaches an ending. Then you live it again, differently.
Simulated money. No real trades. Ever.

The loop
One dealt month at a time.
You never face a whole life at once. It comes as a month — the deck deals it, you live it, and the next month starts from what you did.
Dealt
A new month arrives as a small deck: your payday, your bills, and what else is going on.
Decided
Each card asks what you would do. There isn't one right answer — you commit and the month moves.
Moved
The money shifts on your accounts strip — net-toned, never a verdict. The choice stays made.
Learned
The concept lands right after the choice it explains, with one quick knowledge check.
Chapters stack into chapters. And when a life’s chapters run out, it ends — honestly — and goes on your shelf. See how lives end.
Choose a life
You don’t pick a course. You pick a life.
Each life is its own arc, with its own income, its own setbacks, and its own ending. You can only run one at a time — switching ends the unfinished run, and it doesn’t reach Past Lives.
Life 02
Living at Home
A part-time paycheck and a house share, with a fund building toward a door of your own.
Objective
Grow the independence fund without missing the life around you.
- The house agreement
- More month than money
- The squeeze
- The door
Four chapters · eight dealt months
Every run is dealt from a seed: the same seed deals the same months, deterministically. Running a life again deals a fresh seed — the arc stays, the months differ.
Consequences & endings
Choices stay made. Lives end. Stories are kept.
The life itself is never scored — no grades, no verdicts. The ledger moves with your call, and the story calls choices back months later: finance the car and a later card marks the loan finally paid off; take every Saturday for a season and the run remembers. The only right-or-wrong is the quick check after a learn card, which teaches the app what to hand you next. When the chapters run out, the life ends on purpose — with where you landed, the turns that got you there, and one question to sit with.
Past Lives. Every finished run lands on a shelf — months, decisions, where you landed.
Run it again. Replays start the same life with a fresh seed. Same arc, different months.
Weekly challenge. One shared seed each week — the same dealt three months for everyone who takes it.
Epilogue
First Job — lived.
Months livedDecisions madeWhere you landed
THE TURNS
- Declined nothing — but paid every statement in full
- Bought the car in cash, later than wanted
- Took the move — and the promotion with it
If you ran it again, what would you do differently first?

Past Lives
A shelf of lives you’ve lived.
Finished runs are archived with their story — open one to remember how it went, or run it again to see what a different first choice changes. Unfinished runs wait for you; they don’t reach the shelf.
Living at Home — took the door and kept the fund
NewestFirst Job — financed the car, learned the loan

Inside the app
Three tabs. The life is the point.
- 01
Home
Thin and personal. One Today's Move — the card actually waiting in your run — and one quiet receipt of what you did. Nothing to farm, nothing to tap for its own sake.
- 02
Play
Where the life lives. Start or switch a life, play the dealt months, visit Past Lives, take the weekly same-seed challenge.
- 03
Learn
Optional, and built to support the run: short lessons in plain categories that meet you where your decisions already went. Market practice lives here too.
Market practice · optional
A side room for the market.
Separate from the life: a simulated $10,000 portfolio with real tickers and delayed quotes. Research a company, read its chart, and practice buying and selling — with pretend money only.
01 · Research
Search any company, read its market page, study the chart across time ranges.
02 · Screen
Filter the whole market down to a shortlist to research next.
03 · Practice
Trade with simulated money. The trade history tracks every decision.
SIMULATED MONEY · PAPER TRADING ONLY
Stock screener
Narrow down the market.
Use filters to turn a huge list of stocks into a smaller group of companies you may want to research. Matches are not recommendations — the screener narrows, you decide.

Why TeenVests
Built for learning. Not gambling.
01
Taught by the life itself
Concepts show up the moment they matter — right after the choice that made them relevant, not as definitions to memorize.
02
Consequences, not grades
The life is never scored. The ledger moves with your call, and the story quietly calls choices back months later — only the quick knowledge checks have right or wrong answers.
03
Endings, kept
Every life ends honestly and stays on your shelf — where you landed, the turns that got you there, one question to carry.
04
Simulated money, always
Nothing real is ever held, moved, or invested. The portfolio, the trades, the losses — all pretend, by design. And it never tells you what to buy.
Beta coming soon
Money is something you learn by doing.
