Smart Money for Kids: How to Save, Spend & Grow Your Money
Right now, 97% of all money in the world doesn't physically exist. No bills, no coins — just numbers on screens. The material in a $100 bill costs 17 cents. A loss of $100 literally hurts your brain twice as much as finding $200 feels good. And one penny doubled every day for a month turns into over 5 million. You don't need to know anything about economics — just bring your curiosity. By the end, you'll be the person who actually understands why people make weird decisions with money, how stores manipulate you with "50% OFF," and why starting to save at 12 beats starting at 30. That's knowledge most adults don't have. Your first "wait, THAT's how it works?!" moment hits in lesson 1 — when you discover the nightmare of trying to trade a chicken for sandals. By lesson 22, money stops being a boring adult thing — it becomes the most powerful made-up story in human history. And you'll know exactly how it works.
