“We asked this question: like what actually impacts our relationship with money? And this is the model that we teach from. So in our program… we go through these different layers. The first one is generational or intergenerational trauma…The next is relational trauma. So this is trauma that happens in relation to you and someone else within your lifetime. The third layer is societal trauma, and this is a huge one, and this trauma is a result of the dominant culture that we live in.”

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.
