🔥 Warm Up
Warm Up
What is one thing you want that costs money — something you would actually like to save up for or plan for?
"Let's make a real plan. Not a pretend exercise — a plan you could actually follow."
🤖 The Activity
Main Activity
📋 Type this exactly
I want to [child's specific goal — something real and achievable]. Help me make a real financial plan: (1) the total cost, (2) how long it would realistically take to save for it, (3) what I would need to do each week or month, (4) what could go wrong with the plan, (5) one way to reach the goal faster.
📋 Type this exactly
Look at this plan critically. What am I not accounting for? What assumptions am I making that might be wrong? What would a careful adult say about this plan?
📋 Type this exactly
Write a final one-page version of my plan — clear, realistic, with the key numbers. Something I could actually put on my wall and follow.
🧩 The Twist
Go Deeper
📋 Type this exactly
What is the difference between a financial plan that you actually follow and one that looks great on paper but never gets used?
Ask: what would it take for you to actually follow this plan?

Real financial planning. Real goals.
Questions to ask
What is your goal?
What does the plan require each week?
What would make you actually follow it?
What to watch for
If the child actually follows the plan — even for a month — that is worth more than any session.
