- Here’s an amazing stat..there are more payday lending “stores” than Starbucks and McDonalds combined! Watch this short video from PBS NewsHour (3:34) to learn why they are so popular:
- We have all heard the cliche, “It’s better to give than to receive.” Watch this video to learn about all the benefits that come with altruistic behavior from PBS NewsHour (8:01)

Tim Ranzetta
Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
