Founding launch · Family Edition
Only 15 founding families.
Let them take the wheel.
You're still riding shotgun.
Money Meets Real Life is an eight-week financial life simulation your child plays with you right there. Real decisions. Fictional money. Consequences that aren't permanent.
Founding family price
Parents, we need to talk.
Your child knows how to use Apple Pay, order DoorDash, and tell you exactly which car they want. But do they know what happens when the rent is due, the car needs repairs, and payday is still six days away?
And before anybody says "they'll figure it out"... girl, that's exactly how some of us learned money the expensive way.
“My child has no idea how expensive it is to live.”
“I want them to understand money before they move out.”
“I keep telling them to save, but I don't think they get why.”

What would your child do?

What would your child do?
How it works
They make the decisions. You get to be there.
Once a week, you sit down together for a Money Night. No lecture. No worksheet they forget. Just a decision, what happens next, and a conversation that might not have come up otherwise.
Wherever you two land.
- 1
The Decision
Your child meets a real-life money situation and makes a choice.
- 2
The Consequence
The simulation shows what happens because of that choice.
- 3
The Conversation
You ask questions and help them think it through.
- 4
The Next Move
They decide what to do next. And life keeps going.
What's inside
Eight weeks. One fictional financial life. Real conversations.
A fictional adult life
Your child gets a life with its own income, bills, and starting circumstances. Because life doesn't deal equal hands.
Eight weeks of decisions
Paychecks, bills, curveballs, and choices. Some work out. Some don't. That's the point.
Weekly Money Nights
Short sit-downs at the kitchen table, the couch, or after dinner. Wherever you two land.
Printables that feel real
Life profile, wallet, weekly financial register, and conversation cards.
A parent guide
You don't need to be a money expert. You just need to ask good questions.
The Financial Life Reveal
At the end, you look back together: what worked, what didn't, and what surprised them.
Eight weeks later
How did their financial life turn out?
The Financial Life Reveal brings it all together. What worked? What didn't? What would they do differently? It's not a contest for the most fake money. It's about learning to make smart moves with the hand you're dealt.
The goal isn't to raise a child who never makes a money mistake. It's to give them a place to practice before the stakes are real.
They don't need another thing they'll forget about by February.
Give them an experience that could change the way they think about money.
