The My Money Journal is a guided financial literacy journal designed to help children build confidence and responsibility around money through practice, reflection, and real-life application.
Rather than teaching money as a set of rules, this journal helps children understand how money works by tracking, saving, and thinking intentionally about their choices.
 
Why This Journal Exists
Many children learn about money through spending, but not through understanding. This journal was created to introduce foundational money habits in a way that feels practical, engaging, and age-appropriate.
Inside, children are guided to track money they receive, practice saving toward goals, and reflect on how money decisions connect to emotions and values. The focus is on learning over time — not getting it “right” immediately.
 
What’s Included
Each journal is a physical, comb-bound workbook designed for ease of use and durability.
Every journal comes with:
A comb-bound format so pages lay flat while writing
A pencil, encouraging learning through practice and revision
Stickers to make progress tracking visual and engaging
An envelope to support saving, goal-setting, or storing reflections
These elements are included to support consistency, creativity, and hands-on learning.
 
Thoughtfully Assembled by Hand
Each My Money Journal is carefully assembled by hand with intention and care.
Because these journals are hand-crafted rather than mass-produced, small variations may naturally occur. These do not affect the function or purpose of the journal and reflect the care taken in creating each one individually.
The focus remains on usability, durability, and the learning experience the journal is designed to support
