Four live sessions for parents and teens to practice real money decisions together — so your teenager learns to ask better questions, weigh the tradeoffs, and make more intentional choices.
I’m taking my time getting this one right. If you’d like to know when dates open, leave your name and I’ll tell you first — and I’ll send you something useful in the meantime.
I’ll let you know as soon as dates are set. In the meantime, check your inbox — I’m sending you ten questions you can use with your teenager tonight.

Four live sessions on Zoom. Parents and teenagers together, working through the money decisions they’re about to face.
Each session starts with a real decision — you earned $1,000 this summer, what should you do with it? You and your teenager talk it through and make a choice. Then I change something. What if you also had $800 of credit card debt? You reconsider. Only then do we get to the principle underneath it.
Parents answer. Teens answer. They don’t always agree — and that disagreement is the conversation families tell me they’re still having a week later.
Nobody has to be on camera. Ever.
You don’t need to wait for a cohort to have the conversation. I put together 10 Money Questions That Get Teens Thinking — no lecture, no worksheet, just good questions you can ask in the car or over dinner, with follow-ups and reframes for each one.
I’m Tony Doble. I’ve spent nearly 20 years in financial education and written four books on money, including two novels for teenagers that schools use in the classroom.
I’ve run money programs for school districts for years. Some of those students came back the next term to help teach the next group. The thing I keep coming back to: young people don’t need more money facts. They need practice thinking a decision through — and an adult willing to think out loud with them.
Teaching a class or leading a group? Everything I have for classrooms is free and ready today — standards alignment, unit plans, teacher guides, and a live Zoom visit with your group at no charge.
