Children make spending choices too. These everyday decisions give parents an opportunity to teach them how to pause, compare their options, and choose what matters most.

In this episode, author Mark Goldman explains that spending with confidence isn’t about getting everything we want. It’s about making thoughtful choices about how we use our money.

What can kids learn from giving?

At Giving Garden, Big Buck discovers that something he no longer uses can bring joy to someone else.

But giving isn’t only about things. Kids can give, share, and help in simple ways every day — and track those small acts of kindness as they grow. 🌱

Try it at home: ask your child,
“What could you give or do for someone else?”

Small acts of giving can grow into lifelong habits.

And with Giving Garden complete… 🎉
🏙️ All 5 My Money City missions are complete!

Do they need it… or just want it? 💭

At Wish Station, Little Penny learns that wanting something doesn’t mean deciding right away.

A simple pause can give kids time to think:
Do I really need it? Can I wait? Will I still want it later?

Try it at home: instead of giving an immediate yes or no, ask a question and give your child space to think and choose.

Pause. Think. Choose. 💜

Big goals don’t have to start big. 🪙🎯

When Big Buck finds something he really wants, Tadatoon helps him turn that wish into a goal.

Then comes the important part: saving a little, being patient, and watching small steps add up.

Try it at home: help your child choose one small goal and save a little toward it each week.

Big goals can start small.

Big goals can start small. When children save regularly—even a small amount—they begin to develop patience, planning skills, and healthy money habits.

In this episode, author Mark Goldman explains how parents can help children choose a meaningful goal, create simple savings milestones, and enjoy watching their progress grow over time.

“I want both!” Sound familiar? 😊

At Choice Market, Tadatoon and Little Penny discover an important money lesson: we can’t always choose everything — but we can pause, compare, and decide.

Try it at home: give your child a small budget and a few choices, then ask:

“Which one matters more to you?”

The goal isn’t the “perfect” answer. It’s helping kids think, choose, and explain why.
