Money isn’t about math. It’s about meaning.

A Better Way to Teach Kids About Money

No budgets. No guilt. No lectures.

Choose Your Family Kit See How It Works

As Seen On:

Turn “Can I have this?” into clarity, not conflict.

The way we usually talk about money isn’t working.

Every parent knows the moment.

“Can I have this?”
“Everyone else has one.”
“Why can’t we afford it?”

You are suddenly the bad cop again. And underneath the fight is a fear you don’t say out loud:

I don’t want my kids to repeat my money mistakes.

Most financial literacy starts with rules, charts, and math.
But the real problem isn’t math, it’s meaning.

Kids don’t need more worksheets. They need a way to understand themselves. They need a shared language for spending, saving, and giving that actually sticks.

Because if we don’t change the story, they’ll inherit ours.

Child Reading — *The bestselling graphic novel, The Golden Quest*

Money isn’t about more. It’s about what matters most.

A better way to teach kids about money

Teach meaning first, and money starts to make sense.

The Awesome Stuff teaches your kids four mindsets that change everything:

Spend on your Awesome Stuff.

Spend on what truly matters to them, not impulse, pressure, or fitting in.

Save for freedom.

Saving isn’t sacrifice. It creates freedom and choice.

Make your money grow.

Small decisions today compound and can change a child’s entire future.

Give because you can.

Generosity isn’t hierarchy. It’s connection, joy, and impact.

When your kids learn meaning first, money finally makes sense. And your family gains a shared language you can use for life.

How It Works

Story, conversation, and play. That is the system.

Research from Harvard’s Project Zero and the Journal of Educational Psychology shows that kids understand complex ideas faster through story, visuals, and guided conversations.

STEP 1

Start with the story.

Read The Golden Quest together. It’s an adventure that teaches the meaning behind money long before your kids ever touch a dollar.

STEP 2

Pull a card. Ask a question.

Use the 44-card Discovery Deck at dinner or in the car. Ten seconds of pause. One shared question. A conversation that opens everything.

STEP 3

Play the game.

On game night, money becomes a journey. Kids practice pausing, saving, giving, and choosing what matters while having fun.

Real parents. Real kids. Real shifts.

“My daughter actually said, That is not my Awesome Stuff.”

Mom of a 9-year-old

“It finally clicked.”

No one ever connected money to freedom before. That part hit different.

FAQ

Questions parents ask most.

What age is this best for?

Ages 8–12, but it works for teens and adults too. The tools look simple by design. Research from Harvard’s Project Zero shows that simplicity helps learners of all ages reflect more deeply and build stronger habits.

Do I need to be good with money?

Not at all. You don’t have to be the expert. The cards hold the questions. The story opens the door. Your honesty and presence are what make it powerful.

What if my kids hate money talks?

Perfect. There are no lectures, no pressure, no you should. It’s story, adventure, questions, and play. Kids feel involved instead of judged.

How much time does it take?

Start with one card and ten minutes at dinner once a week. Add a chapter on weekends. Play the game when you want a deeper reset. It fits real life, not a perfect routine.

Is this a curriculum?

No worksheets. No formal lessons. You read, play, and talk. The mindset shift happens naturally.

Does this work for the whole family?

Yes. Families say it becomes a shared language everyone uses together.

What does “Digital Access” include?

Digital access includes the eBook and audiobook of The Golden Quest.

THE MOVEMENT

This is bigger than money skills.

I grew up watching my dad chase more. Money, freedom, adventure. He had everything we are told to want. And he still felt empty.

When I became a dad, I saw the same patterns trying to repeat themselves. The pressure. The comparison. The quiet anxiety behind every “Can we buy this?”

I wanted something different for my boys. A money story built on joy, freedom, generosity, and meaning.

So I built The Awesome Stuff. One question. One pause. One system that changes everything.

My TEDx talk on rewriting our money story has now been watched by over 85,000 people.
