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.

Meet Max the Fox
Mission Commander. He briefs every mission, hands out the badges, and never lets a recruit quit before the boss mission.

Scanned the QR code in the back of the book? You're in the right place, recruit. Max the Fox has three extra missions that didn't fit in the book — printable, badge-worthy, and free.
