Money Habitudes is a favorite of financial educators, coaches and counselors who teach personal finance skills. Because money is a difficult subject, clients and students may feel intimidated, embarrassed, bored or uncomfortable. Similarly, if participation has been mandated, attendees may be resentful and resistant. Using a card game is a non-threatening way to learn about money because it’s associated with an enjoyable pastime and can make things fun, quickly engage clients or students, and keep people coming back.

Why use Money Habitudes® ?

Learn about the issues your students face

Everyone comes from different financial backgrounds and has different biases and behaviors. As the instructor, it’s valuable for you to gain a sense of where your students are coming from and where they want to go.

A tool that self-propagates

It can be very effective to allow students to take Money Habitudes cards home, either by giving them each a deck or by granting them access to the online version. Students may do the activity multiple times to see how their results change over time. Perhaps even more powerfully, many will share it with others, starting new money conversations.

Easy to teach and train

Money Habitudes was designed to be very user-friendly. Financial educators, coaches, counselors and mentors quickly understand how to use the materials without the need for extensive financial training. It’s a simple, fun and effective tool that just works.

Turns educators into friends

It’s rare to find a financial class where students are laughing, smiling and actively sharing. Money Habitudes saves students — and financial educators — from yet another lecture or PowerPoint and actively engages them in a fun, hands-on way when many anticipate a boring or judgmental class.

What financial educators say about Money Habitudes

Financial educators, coaches and counselors trust Money Habitudes to improve classes and coaching and start great conversations about money.

  • To have something that’s a quick pick-up tool, but is this effective is very rare. It’s a minimum investment for a maximum return.

    Robin McKinney, MSW Director and co-founder, Maryland CASH Campaign

  • Money Habitudes is a much friendlier, non-judgmental way for people to get at their core issues. That’s why it’s more successful than what we did before having the Money Habitudes cards.

    Donna Stallings Case Manager and VIDA Coordinator, Virginia Supportive Housing

  • It seems like people are more receptive to our other financial education materials after we do Money Habitudes. It’s been very positive for us.
