  1. Your first real income

    Getting paid by a parent is practice. Getting paid by a stranger is the real thing, and it changes how you see every price. 20 minThe First Customer Badge Status: Not started
  2. A budget that survives a teenager

    Most budgets fail because they were a wish. Write down what you actually spend for four weeks first, then plan from the real number. 20 minThe 30-Day Badge Status: Not started
  3. Banking without getting eaten by fees

    A fee is a price. Compare accounts on what they charge before you look at anything they advertise. 20 minThe Fine Print Badge Status: Not started
  4. The micro-business sprint

    Six weeks, one small business, one page of real numbers at the end. Profit is what is left after everything, and most people find that out late. 25 minThe Profit & Loss Badge Status: Not started
  5. Scams, skins and in-app everything

    Games are designed by people whose job is to make you spend. Knowing the design is not the same as being weak — it is the defence. 20 minThe Scam Spotter Badge Status: Not started
  6. Where your education money lives

    Somebody has been saving for your education, or has not been able to yet. Read the statement together at fourteen rather than finding out at eighteen. 20 minThe Statement Reader Badge Status: Not started

How to run a level

Hand them the Quest panel and leave them with it. Read the Playbook yourself before you say anything. Then do the activity together, once, and stop — a level that runs long is a level nobody does twice.

The first card, and the education money

Thirteen to fifteen is where a card and an app start earning their place, and where reading the education-savings statement stops being abstract.
