FIRST EARNINGS PROJECT

Big possibilities.
Small beginnings.

Free, approachable money education for teens starting to earn.

A first step worth taking.

Built around the
beginning.

First Earnings Project is an independent, teen-focused financial education initiative founded by Michael Bujnowski. Our mission is to help teens understand their first earnings, prepare for real expenses, and build savings habits.

We believe practical money knowledge should be free, approachable, and useful outside the classroom. We’re starting with three things: clear guides, realistic examples, and tools that turn questions into plans.

First paychecks. Real costs. Your next chapter.

Start with one question.
