The Mixed-Up Market
What money is
Money helps people pay and exchange. A price tells us how much something costs.
Best for children aged 4–9 years old
The Money Explorer Mail Club is a 12-month financial learning journey for children aged 4–9, designed to build their understanding of money step by step.
Every month, a new letter from Finny arrives in their mailbox, introducing a different money topic through stories, hands-on activities, real-life challenges and family conversations. Everything is screen-free, age-appropriate and designed to connect money learning with the world children already experience around them.
Please note: the physical Money Explorer Mail Club is available for delivery within Austria only. If you live outside Austria, please choose our Print-at-Home version.
Join by the end of the month and your child’s first letter will be sent with the next monthly release, usually around the 10th. One new Money Explorer adventure then arrives every month until the 12-issue journey is complete.
Monthly Membership — €12.99/month with free shipping within Austria
Pay month by month. Cancel anytime. The membership ends after all 12 issues.
Annual Membership — pay upfront and save 15%
Pay once for the complete 12-issue journey. Your child receives one new letter each month. The annual membership does not auto-renew.
No lectures. No screens. No complicated financial jargon—just one new adventure in the mailbox every month.
Choose the digital Money Explorer journey and receive the monthly materials by email.
Every issue builds on the one before it, helping children develop healthy money habits step by step.
What money is
Money helps people pay and exchange. A price tells us how much something costs.
Work, earning and value
People commonly earn money by doing work, using their skills or making something useful.
Forms of money
Money can be coins, notes or digital. Paying by card or phone still uses real money.
Needs and wants
Needs are things we require; wants are things we would like but can live without.
Choices and trade-offs
Money is limited. Choosing one thing can mean giving up another.
Smart spending
We can pause, compare and think before buying. Advertising can influence our choices.
Saving and patience
Saving means keeping money for a future goal. Reaching that goal often requires waiting.
Investing
Investing means using money now in the hope of creating more value later—but growth is not guaranteed.
Making a money plan
We can decide how much money to spend, save and give before using it.
Keeping money safe
We must protect money and payment information and ask a trusted adult before paying.
Giving and community
Money can be used to help other people and support things we care about.
Review and healthy habits
Healthy money habits combine earning, choosing, spending, saving, investing, giving and staying safe.
