#078. In this episode, Justin sits down with educator Robert Coutts, who has built a real-life “classroom economy” where students earn income, pay expenses, run businesses, and even pay a mortgage on their desks.

Instead of just teaching financial literacy, Robert creates an environment where kids experience money decisions every single day—learning lessons about saving, spending, investing, and responsibility in a hands-on way.

From classroom jobs to business fairs, and even dealing with debt and consequences, this system is helping students build real-world money skills long before adulthood.

We chat about how a classroom economy system actually works, the power of delayed gratification and early money habits, why ownership and accountability are important skills, and practical ways to teach money lessons at home.
