Honestly wish someone had explained this stuff to me growing up. Had to learn a lot the hard way. Nice to have something I can go through with my kids now.

I never really knew how to explain money without turning it into a lecture. This gives us somewhere to start, and I don’t feel like I need to know everything first.

We’ve been reading a few pages after dinner. It’s nice putting the screens away and having something different to chat about together.

I’m always telling my kids to save, but realised I wasn’t explaining much else! This helps us talk about why they’re saving and what they want to spend on.

Bought it for the kids, ended up reading it myself. A few things finally made sense to me too. We’re pretty much learning together at this point.

The kids already have enough schoolwork. I like that we can just pick a question and talk about it. No pressure to finish a whole chapter.

Wanted to get something other than another toy this time. Love that we can sit down, read it together and talk about things they’ll actually use as they grow up.
