Here's What Nobody Is Telling You

Schools Teach Your Kid Algebra.
They Won't Teach Them This.

Here's the truth most parents never hear: schools will teach your kid the Pythagorean theorem. They'll explain photosynthesis. They'll dissect a frog.

But they will NOT teach your kid what actually determines their financial future.

  • How a 401k actually works
  • What compound interest does over 40 years
  • How to save BEFORE they spend
  • Why investing $10 per week could turn into a million dollars by retirement

You learned this yourself. The hard way. Through credit card mistakes, missed opportunities, and years of figuring it out alone.

Your kid doesn't have time for that. And you don't have to leave it to chance.

I refused to let my kids learn the way I had to. So during the pandemic — when the whole world stopped — I sat down at the kitchen table with my daughter Rowan and my son Asher, and we wrote the book schools won't.

Why I Wrote This With My Daughter
Instead of Hiring an Expert

When the pandemic shut everything down in 2020, I sat down at the kitchen table with my daughter Rowan and my son Asher and realized something that changed everything.

My kids were learning algebra, English, biology. But not one teacher had ever sat them down and said, "Here's how money actually works."

So we wrote it ourselves. Three books. Around the kitchen table. Rowan as co-author. Asher contributing. My dad — Grandpa — doing the artwork. That's the Birds and Bees of Money.

The money talk. Just like the other birds-and-bees talk — important. Awkward to start. And impossible to leave to anyone else.

"Warren Buffett bought a farm before he graduated high school. Not because he was extraordinary — because someone showed him how money actually works. That's what this book does. It starts the conversation."

I'm not a financial advisor. I have no finance degree. What I have is 25 years of learning the hard way — and everything I wish someone had put in front of me at 15.

Volume 1 is on me. Take it. — Don

What Parents Are Saying

★★★★★

"My 13-year-old finished it in two nights. Two nights. Then he opened a savings account that weekend. We had been trying to get him interested in this stuff for three years."

★★★★★

"I am 45 and I learned three things in this book that nobody ever told me. If I had read this when I was 22, I would be in a completely different financial place today."

Marcus K.
Dad of three — Cincinnati, OH
★★★★★

"We read it together as a family on Sunday nights. My kids actually look forward to it. That alone is worth the entire series."

Common Questions

Everything You Want to Know Before You Sign Up

Yes — completely free. No credit card, no trial period, no hidden fees. We give you Book 1 free because we believe in the content. Once you read it and see how your family responds, you will want the complete system. That is the arrangement. No tricks.
That is the most common thing we hear — and the most common thing people say after their kids read it is that they actually finished it. This series was co-written by a teenager, for teenagers. It reads like a conversation, not a textbook. No jargon. Real stories. Kids engage with it because it respects their intelligence instead of lecturing them.
That is exactly who this was written for. Don wrote this as a self-taught investor — not a finance professional. The series walks you through everything step by step so you can learn alongside your children. You do not have to have it figured out. You just need to start.
Volume 1 works for ages 8 and up. The core concepts scale naturally — an 8-year-old applies the 4-Box System with an allowance and a piggy bank, while a 25-year-old uses the same framework for a Roth IRA. Volumes 2 and 3 go deeper into investing, entrepreneurship, and wealth-building for teens and young adults.
No — and we will never present it as such. Birds and Bees of Money is a financial literacy education brand. We teach concepts, systems, and frameworks. Nothing here should be interpreted as personalized financial or investment advice. Always consult a licensed professional for advice specific to your situation. We educate. We do not advise.
You will receive an email with instant access to Book 1 and the 4-Box System PDF. From there, you will have the option to upgrade to the Complete Family Money Bundle — Books 2 and 3 plus bonus resources — for a one-time payment of $19.99. That upgrade is entirely optional. Book 1 is yours regardless.

P.S.

Every year you wait costs your kid more than you think. Compound interest does not care how busy you are. It rewards the families who start early — and it punishes the ones who wait until "the right time."

Volume 1 is free. The conversation starts tonight. The only question is whether you start it.
