AFTER THE LAST PAGE
Keep the conversation going.
There’s no perfect answer. Make room for curiosity.
“What would you save for?”
Talk about something worth waiting for.
“Who could we help?”
Explore a small act of kindness together.
“What could grow over time?”
Start with a seed or a new skill, then introduce the idea that some money can have a chance to grow, too.
This is only the beginning.
As Mae grows, the lessons grow with her—from saving and sharing to earning, entrepreneurship, credit, and thoughtful money habits.
Created by financial educator and founder of The Banks Institute, Raquel Curtis “The Boujee Banker.”
