Education Testimonials

"This experience should better prepare them [students] for the real game of life."

Professor H. Swint Friday
Finance Department, Texas A&M University CC

"I was concerned that my students would have difficulty with some of the concepts introduced in the game since I had not yet covered them in class. But it was quite the opposite. After playing the game, they wanted to know more about these subjects. They couldn’t wait to learn about Bonds, Mutual Funds and especially Insurance!"

Teacher, Harlem Renaissance High School

Testimonials from Students

"The most challenging part was when I had to make decisions to invest in stock because the market just might drop. The most important thing I learned in playing Nest Egg is always to buy insurance! Overall I would highly recommend that this game be played in schools because it prepares you for the future you."

Grade 10 Student, Harlem, NY

"I enjoyed playing this game and also took in a lot of information that I didn’t know about like equities, bonds, mutual funds, debts, mortgages and insurance. Usually students would learn about these things in a classroom with a teacher and taking notes, and sometimes it can be a lot of information to obtain from one person. But playing this game makes it a lot easier to learn this information and it’s fun."

Grade 10 Student, Harlem, NY

"I learned I don’t know much about money, and life doesn’t get easier after high school. But, I also learned what to do better next time."

King High School Senior, Corpus Christi, TX

"The most important thing I learned from this game was that it makes you think about how you want to spend your money and at the same time its helping you make good decisions."

Grade 10 Student, Harlem, NY

"I learned that you need to payoff your credit and mortgage and have insurances cause that can affect your cash flow. I recommend this game to other schools because it’s a great and fun way of learning financial stability."

Grade 11 Student, Harlem, NY

"My fellow classmates and I were really engaged in the game. Everyone was determined to reach their goal which was having $400,000 by the age of 60. Nest Egg is a game that can be applied to the real world. This game should be played in other schools because it shows how to save money and be financially independent."
