The Three-Jar Start

Our kids watch a card tap a machine and the cart fills up. From where they’re standing, that card has no bottom to it. Three jars fix more of that than any conversation will.

What’s Inside

Seven pages. Fifteen minutes at the kitchen table. Three jars you already own.

🥪

The Three Rules

Split every dollar the day it arrives, let the Spend jar be truly hers, and count the Save jar out loud once a week.

📏

Age by Age

What money actually means at 2–4, 5–7, 8–10 and 11–12 — and what to skip until she’s ready.

Cut-Out Jar Labels

Spend, Save, Give — plus a blank one, because some houses want a fourth jar.

📈

The Save Tracker

Eight weeks of watching a number get bigger. That’s the part that does the teaching.

“Kids don’t learn money from a talk. They learn it from a jar they can see.”

Start This Weekend, Y’all

Find three jars, cut out the labels, split whatever money is already floating around her room, and pick a counting day. That’s the whole build — and it costs you nothing but fifteen minutes.
