Your kid signed an NIL deal. Now what? A 12-month curriculum on taxes, budgeting, and the deals you should not sign — built so you can sit beside them or hand it off entirely.
When NIL income arrives, most parents become the de facto tax planner, contract reviewer, and budget enforcer overnight.
You have other things to do. Your athlete has practice and class. And a generic "personal finance for teens" course will not address agents, exclusivity clauses, or the fact that the first $50,000 your kid earns is not really $50,000.
NILifi is what you would build if you had the time. Eight chapters, plain English, structured around the actual decisions in front of you.
What you get
Tax basics for NIL income
Self-employment vs. W-2. Quarterly estimates. Why the IRS is not waiting until April. Walk through it once and never panic again.
Contract review checklist
A printable checklist of what to look for in an NIL deal — exclusivity, term length, morality clauses, payment timing, IP grants.
Budgeting for a real number
Most "teen finance" content assumes $0. NILifi is built for athletes who might earn $500, $5,000, or $500,000 — same framework, different scale.
Sit beside them or hand it off
Designed so you can do it together, or so they can run independently. Either is fine. Both work.
Real teacher, not a chatbot
Lessons designed by a financial educator who has worked directly with college athletes. Not a generic AI quiz factory.
Your data, fully owned
You can export everything. You can delete everything. No selling, no profiling, no surprises.

FAQ
Both, depending on your house. Most parents start the subscription for their athlete and skim alongside them. The content works either way.
