The complete K–12 money, tax, insurance, and business curriculum — built by a nurse anesthesiologist who runs businesses and taught his own two daughters first.

Most kids graduate having never been taught one thing about money.
We teach it for thirteen years straight — kindergarten through the year they leave home.
How we fit
Keep your card app if you love it. This is the curriculum it’s missing.
Greenlight, GoHenry and BusyKid are banking products. They give your kid a card and teach the mechanics of spending, and they are good at it. CashQuest Kids is a curriculum — it teaches ownership. Most families use both, in that order.
Works alongside
No bank account or card is required to use CashQuest Kids — and none is replaced. If your kid already has one, the lessons give them something to run it with.
A card teaches a kid what money does. A curriculum teaches them where it comes from. You want both, and you want them in that order.
The town
The CashQuest Kids App
Your kid walks a town, knocks on doors, names a price, opens a stand, files at City Hall. Nothing is explained first. They do the thing, and then it gets a name.
45 money words
Locked until they earn them. The book says so: “You didn’t study these. You did each one yourself first — then it got a name.”
Five pillars, ten places
Five Jars, Make & Sell, Taxes, the Hourglass, Risk & Reward — earned across their room, Maple Street, Main Street, the Market Yard, the Club, City Hall, the bank, the Exchange and Shield Mutual.
Ages 6 to 16
Three reading levels — Squire 6–9, Knight 10–13, Champion 14–16 — change how much is read aloud and how the words are explained.
It reads itself out loud
Reading voice is on by default, so a six-year-old who can’t read yet can still play the whole town.
For grown-ups
No account. No ads. No third-party tracking. Nothing collected. It runs in the browser — there is nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.
The two topics with real-world consequences are deliberately gated to you: the Exchange asks them to “open an account with a grown-up,” and Shield Mutual asks them to “go with Mom and Dad.” COPPA and privacy policies are linked inside the app’s own settings.
Free. No card, no account, no download.
Pretend money. CashQuest Kids is educational only and is not financial, investment, tax, insurance or legal advice. Real insurance and real tax rules differ.
What ages does this cover?
K–12, in four bands (K–2, 3–5, 6–8, 9–12). One membership covers the whole family — every band, every track.
Is this more screen time?
The videos are short on purpose. Every lesson pairs with a printable — most of the work is pencil-on-paper at the kitchen table.
Do I need to be good with money to teach it?
No. The parent guide gives you the answers page by page. Plenty of parents learn it alongside their kids.
What’s free, exactly?
Four full printable lessons (one per age band), free video episodes, and the game — no card required.
Homeschool curriculum or supplement?
Both. Families run it as a homeschool elective or as a 20-minute-a-week supplement alongside school.
What if it’s not for us?
Nothing to cancel — it is a one-time payment. And inside the first 7 days, reply to your receipt and Jon refunds you personally.
Schools make employees.
We raise owners.
The money and business foundation school skips — built at home, from kindergarten up.
I did everything the system asked. I'm a nurse anesthesiologist — 22 years in nursing, 15 years of education after high school. It trained me perfectly to earn a paycheck. It never taught me what to do with one.
So I learned ownership myself: five businesses, in goods and in services. And now I teach my two young daughters the way I wish someone had taught me — short videos, play, real examples, and hands-on exercises, from an early age.
Kids raised this way become leaders in whatever field they choose. If they ever want to start a business — in high school or after — they'll know how. And they will never be dependent on someone else for an income, unless they choose to be.
That's what CashQuest Kids is: the exact method I use with my own girls, built out for your family.

Because I didn’t build this as a startup pitch. I built it at my kitchen table for my own two daughters, and when your family joins it costs me almost nothing extra. Card apps have to charge $6–$12 a month forever — they’re running banking products. I’m running a curriculum. I’d rather raise a generation of owners than maximize a subscription. — Jon, CRNA, dad of two, five-time business owner
