Future Fortunes Academy

YES, your 10 year old is capable of learning money management skills 👏🏼

We had the opportunity to teach a group of girls recently about investing and they were loving the idea that their money could grow 🌱

Here’s what we covered:
✅ How to determine high, low and medium risk levels
✅ What interest is and how it compounds
✅ The importance of diversification
✅ How starting early makes a significant difference

This is what we cover in the investing chapter of our workbook. Get your kids started with investing by heading to the 🔗 in our bio for the physical or downloadable version!

Most parents want to talk to their kids about money, but “let’s discuss inflation” is going to make them stop listening because it is feeling like a lecture already ✋🏼

Between the summer break freedom, endless fun things they want to do and everything else on your plate, now isn’t the time to sit down and explain a financial concept this way.

In fact, a very serious sit down lecture is probably never going to be the way your kids learn about money 💰

This is why we’ve created our Financial Literacy Workbook, with 52 lessons that take your kids 10-15 minutes each and will actually keep them interested and engaged in the content.

✅ 52 lessons covering everything from saving and budgeting to inflation, credit, and investing
✅ Written so no financial background is needed, just open it up and go
✅ Flexible, 10-15 minute worksheets, whatever fits your day
✅ Story problems that connect money to real decisions kids actually face
✅ Built for ages 8 to 12, at home or alongside school

P.S. once the structure comes back in the fall, you can download our lesson guides that extend each concept into 30 minutes or more ⏰

You don’t need to be a finance expert to raise a money-smart kid, just start here with worksheets that get your kids learning the basics of money

Getting the chance to speak to kids in person about money skills is a highlight ✨

Today I’m at Humber College with Leah Carr speaking to a group of girls ages 7-12 about how to understand their personal needs and wants and how to grow their money 🌱

While we can’t reach each family we have in our community in person (even though we would love to!) we know how important it is that our youth learn money skills early.

Each week we send out an email addressing a money concept, how to break it down and discuss the mindset around it and how to make it practical for your kids 💌

This way, we are reaching your children with financial literacy regardless!

My daughter decided she needed a tractor, a real one lol😅

But when I explained that they are expensive and would require a lot of money, her answer made me remember why I started this company in the first place 💰

Kids have a first instinct when they want something they can’t afford 🧠 Some look to you to solve it. Some immediately start thinking about what they could do to get it themselves.

We want our kids to be problem solvers with money. Not expecting us to always grab what they want or bail them out of a money problem they find themselves in.

This moment in the car reminded me why these conversations matter so early.

Her mind immediately went to “How will I get that money?” She didn’t expect me to buy it, she realized she had the ability to figure out how to herself 👏🏼

Every week we send out one short email with a money concept to cover with you kids and the mindset shift behind it. Setting your child up for sucess with their money, starts with one small conversation at a time 💛

Last week our subscribers got a simple money lesson: Planning for summer camps can teach your kids about money 💰

We address the amount of planning ahead, schedule coordination, budgeting and money that is required. An✨adult ✨ problem really.

But what if our kids understood this too? What if they saw how money allowed them to have fun, how planning ahead and budgeting made sure they could go? 😎

There are so many moments in our day to day lives that can be used to build a foundation of money skills in our kids 🧠 but with all the other things on your mind, they can slip by.

That’s why we send out a weekly money lesson that you can implement with just a 5 minute conversation. Slipping into your daily life naturally, without making you overwhelmed or feel behind 😅
