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

Best-Selling 3-Volume Family Series
Written by Don Meyer & Rowan Pennington during the pandemic —
because schools won't teach this, and families deserve better.
Here's What's Missing
Schools Teach Your Kid Algebra.
Schools Teach Your Kid Algebra.
They Won't Teach Them This.
Here's the part nobody talks about:
Schools will teach your kid the Pythagorean theorem. They'll explain photosynthesis. They'll dissect a frog.
But they will NOT teach your kid:
- How a 401k actually works
- What compound interest does over 40 years
- How to save BEFORE they spend
- Why investing $10/week could turn into a million dollars by retirement
You learned that yourself. The hard way. Through credit card mistakes, missed opportunities, and YouTube rabbit holes that left you more confused than when you started.
Your kid doesn't have time for that.
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.
This is Volume 1. It's free. And it changes everything.

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

Common Questions
Answers Before You Ask.
Yes — completely free. No credit card, no trial, no hidden fees of any kind. We give you Book 1 free because we believe in our content. Once you read it and see how your family responds, you'll want the complete system. That's the deal. No catch.
That's the most common thing we hear — and the most common thing people say after their kids read it: "They actually finished it." This series was co-written by a young adult, for young adults. It reads like a conversation, not a textbook. No jargon. Real stories. Kids respond because it doesn't talk down to them — it talks to them.
That's exactly who this was written for. Don wrote this as a self-taught investor who figured it out through real experience — not a finance degree. You don't have to have it figured out. You just need to read it together. You'll learn alongside your kids.
Volume 1 works for ages 8 and up. The concepts scale beautifully — an 8-year-old grasps the 4-Box System with a piggy bank and an allowance, while a 25-year-old applies the same framework to 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 pretend it is. 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 advice. Always consult a licensed professional for advice specific to your situation. We educate — we do not advise.
You'll receive an email with instant access to Book 1 and the 4-Box System PDF. From there, you'll have the option to upgrade to the Complete Family Money Bundle — Books 2 & 3 plus bonus resources — for a one-time $19.99. That's completely optional. Book 1 is yours regardless, and we'll send you a practical money tip each day for the next 7 days.
