Money Talk U.S. Edition

What do you wish you knew about money at 16?

Most of us picked up our financial habits somewhere along the way — from what we saw at home, from trial and error, from things nobody ever explained clearly.

Now you have a unique opportunity: give your teenager the financial foundation you wish you'd had. And you might be surprised — in the process, you'll see some familiar things from a completely new angle.

Introducing Money Talk — The Family Finance Card Game

Money Talk is a 72-card conversation game that gives families a structure for real financial dialogue. Not a lecture. Not a textbook. A conversation — between parents and teenagers who both have something to share and something to learn.

72 cards. 4 categories. 18 cards each.

MONEY STORIES — Share the money experiences that shaped you.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO? — Real financial scenarios. Your landlord is selling the building. 60 days to decide. What's your first move?

TEACH ME — Parent ↔ Teen. Share what you know about money — and ask what the other generation thinks. No one has all the answers.

MYTH OR FACT? — Separate financial facts from the misconceptions we grow up with.

How it works:

1. Choose one category — or shuffle all 72 cards together.
2. Draw a card. Read it aloud.
3. Answer. There are no right or wrong answers.
4. Listen. See where the conversation goes.

No points. No winners. Just real conversations.

What's in the box:
72 conversation cards · Reference card · Ages 13+ · 2–8 players · 30–90 min · CPSIA-compliant

Why I created Money Talk

I'm Iryna — a former banker and financial advisor with 20 years in senior leadership, and a mom of three sons.

At some point I realized something that surprised me: my kids, raised in a family of finance professionals, knew almost nothing about personal finance. The things I assumed they'd just pick up — they hadn't.

When I immigrated to the U.S., something clicked. Starting over in a new country — new system, new rules, everything unfamiliar — felt exactly like what young people experience when they step into independent life. And I understood: it's not enough to know finance yourself. You have to actually talk about it.

Money Talk is the conversation I wish I'd started with them sooner.

Why Kickstarter?

Your backing funds the first production run — and makes it possible for this game to reach the families who need these conversations most. Thank you for being part of this.
