The professor you wish you had — with the money lessons you always needed.

Prof. Stacy Mastrolia is a tenured accounting professor, former corporate finance executive, and the founder of The Money Teacher™ — a movement to make financial literacy a life skill, not a luxury.

After two decades leading in corporate finance and earning her Ph.D., Stacy stepped into the classroom with one mission: help smart, hardworking people finally feel confident with money.

Today, she teaches at Bucknell University and speaks across the country, guiding graduates, professionals, and families through her signature Financial Freedom To Purpose™ Framework — from Foundations to Finances to Freedom.

Her superpower? Making money make sense — without shame, jargon, or fear.

Core Beliefs:

Budgeting is non-negotiable (but it doesn’t have to be painful)
Debt is dangerous — and you deserve to be free from it
Financial literacy should feel human, not corporate
The true goal? A life of purpose, not just a paycheck

Ready to manage your money better — and live your life freer?

Welcome to The Money Classroom. You’re right on time.

I think personal finance education should be required. Prof. Stacy was always willing to meet with me and was very warm and understanding about any questions I had which I really appreciated. I think this was incredibly informative and one of the most important things I could do for my future.

Prof. Stacy doesn’t just talk about money — she teaches it in a way that actually makes sense. My daughter now builds a budget before spending a dime.

Prof. Stacy helped me rebuild my relationship with money after a rough divorce and job change. I came in feeling overwhelmed — I left with a plan and peace of mind. She listens, teaches, and never makes you feel behind.
