You know you should talk to your kid about money.

The hard part is making it happen every week.

Money lessons usually happen randomly — after a purchase, when allowance is handed over, or when a kid asks for something. Monty gives those conversations a regular place on the calendar.

Pick a time. Make it Monty O'Clock.

The proof

What started to change after 4 Monty O'Clocks?

One family. Four weeks. Real money.

The strongest result wasn't a bigger balance. It was a change in how the kids started thinking about money.

“The money changed less than the thinking did.”

One family's early experience — not universal proof or guaranteed results.

  • Asked how much money they had before buying
  • Brought chore and other money into Monty
  • Saved toward a self-selected goal
  • Experienced "not yet"
  • Reviewed purchases afterward
  • Chose a giving goal
Why Monty

Spending isn't the skill. Thinking is.

Many kids' money products focus on giving children a debit card. Monty focuses on the thinking that happens before and after money moves.

Debit-card-first

  • Helps kids spend
  • Records transactions
  • Focuses on payment
  • Gives access

Monty

  • Helps kids think
  • Reviews decisions
  • Focuses on habits
  • Builds judgment

A debit card records what your kid spent. Monty helps them understand what they learned from it.

Small conversations, big habits

Small conversations become habits.
