Why Am I Always Broke? is a financial literacy book for kids ages 8-14 that teaches saving, earning, smart spending, and money management in a simple, relatable way.
Using real-life examples kids actually recognize, this book helps them understand what really happens to their money-and how to take control of it.
Kids will learn how to:
- Manage allowance and birthday money
- Save using the Spend-Save-Share method
- Earn money through age-appropriate ideas
- Avoid impulse spending and regret
- Set and achieve realistic money goals
The book includes interactive activities, progress trackers, and a Money Promise Contract that help kids turn money lessons into real habits.
This is not about making kids rich. It's about helping them grow up confident, responsible, and money-smart.
A thoughtful gift for parents, families, and educators who want children to build healthy money habits early-before mistakes become expensive.
