But where do you start?
“Save your money” sounds simple. But your child still has questions: Can I afford it? What will I have left? Will I still have enough for something else?
Meet Money Quest
Give them a chance
to work it out.
That’s where Money Quest comes in. Start with $12 in pretend money. Your child decides how much to spend now, save for a goal, and keep for later. Then you talk about their choice.
01Choose where the money goes.
02See what they can buy or save for.
03Talk about what has to wait.
04Try a different plan.
You can ask, “What do you like about your plan?” The workbook gives you questions like this along the way, so you have somewhere to start.

From one choice to the next
First, plan their money.
Then try everyday choices.
Each mission gives your child a new choice to make. Start with their money plan, or jump to a question they’re asking right now.
Enjoy now.
02 / The Game-Shop Challenge
What do those
tokens really cost?
Next, visit a pretend game shop. Find out how much real money the tokens cost—and how much is left after buying.
CHECK THE COST BEFORE BUYING
03 / The “Everyone Has It” Mission
“But everyone
else has it.”
Now friends want it too, and the offer ends soon. Pause and ask: Do I want this? What else could I use my money for?
PAUSE WHEN A PURCHASE FEELS URGENT
04 / The Surprise Weekend
The plan changed.
What now?
A surprise changes the weekend. Check how much money is left, then choose what to keep, change or skip.
MAKE A NEW PLAN WHEN THINGS CHANGE
05 / The Goal I Actually Want
Something worth
waiting for.
Pick something they really want. Work out how much more they need and how they could save for it.
PLAN HOW TO SAVE FOR A GOAL
06 / You’re in Charge
“Can I plan
our next outing?”
Finally, put it all together. Your child plans a family activity using an amount of money you agree on.
ADD UP THE COST AND STAY WITHIN THE PLAN

Mission 01 / Your first plan
“Where will
my $12 go?”
Your child has $12 to plan with. They choose what to spend, save and keep. Then you ask what they like about the plan—and what has to wait.

“Can we really fit
this into our day?”
“My child hates worksheets.”
They can tell you their answer, draw it, or let you write it down. You can have the conversation without filling in every box.
“I’m not a money expert.”
The book gives you questions to ask and examples to help. Listen to their answer, talk it through, and keep your family’s buying rules in place.
“We don’t give an allowance.”
Use the pretend money amounts in the book. Your child doesn’t need pocket money, and you don’t need to buy anything.
“We’re already short on time.”
A mission takes about 15–20 minutes. Short on time? Make the first choice together and come back to the rest another day.
For the next “Can I buy this?”
Then a real money
question comes up.
Your child gets some money. Wants a game item. Or starts saving for something new. Open the Family Toolkit: six pages you can use again for moments like these.

Still have a question?
Let’s clear it up.
Is this a physical book?
It’s a 44-page PDF you download after buying. A printed book won’t be sent to you. You can print the pages you want to use.
Can we use it on a tablet or iPad?
Yes. To type into the boxes, use a PDF app that supports fill-in forms. Some apps only let you read the pages. Save your answers as you go, or print the activity pages and write on them.
Does my child need an allowance or real money?
No. Use the pretend money amounts in the book. There’s nothing you need to buy for the activities.
What if my child doesn’t want to write?
They can say their answer out loud, draw it, or have you write it down. Talk about the choice and leave the boxes blank if that works better.
Do we have to finish all six missions in order?
No. Start with Mission 1 or pick the question your child is asking today. You can stop, come back, and try a mission again.
What age is it designed for?
It’s made for kids ages 10–12 to use with a parent or trusted adult. Help with reading and maths whenever they need it.
Will my child stop buying things without thinking?
They may still make quick choices. The missions give them practice checking the price, seeing what money is left, and talking about what they want. You can return to those questions when they need help.
Can we reuse it after finishing?
Yes. Use the six Family Toolkit pages when another money question comes up. Or try a mission again with a different choice.
Start with their next question
Next time they ask,
“Can I buy this?”
You’ll have a question to ask back: “What would you have left?” Start practising that conversation now, with one short mission you can do together.
