Missions, not lectures
Kids don't learn money by reading about it — they learn by doing it. Every mission is something a kid actually does, then earns the badge for.
Learn by doing
50 hands-on missions with a badge to earn on every one, a progress map to color in, and 5 boss missions that put new skills to the test. Max the Fox, Mission Commander, briefs every mission.
Built for families
Every mission includes a "Grown-Up HQ" note so parents know exactly how to help — plus a full answer key. It ends with the My Money Plan, which kids sign and present to the family, and a keepsake certificate.
A 5-part journey
EARN, SAVE, SPEND SMART, INVEST & GROW, and GIVE & PLAN — ten missions each, in order, so skills build on each other from first allowance to a real plan for the future.
