Lil Banks · MoneyRules

Everything you wish your parents had taught you about money.

For adults who never got the talk. And parents who don't want to fake it any longer.

The conversation you should've had at 18, written for the adult you are now. No jargon without a definition. No "you should already know this." No shame prefix required to ask a question.

Full course launches this quarter · Waitlist gets first access + a founding-member discount.

Why this exists

Your parents didn't teach you money because their parents didn't teach them either.

That's not their fault. And it's not yours. But the money system doesn't care who taught you what — it just charges you for the gap.

This course is the conversation you should've had at 18, written for the adult you are now. No jargon without a definition. No article that assumes you already understand. No test.

Take the modules in any order. Come back to the ones that need three passes.

Who this is for

Four people. One course.

If you

Feel like everyone else got the money memo and you didn't — and you're too old to admit it out loud.

If you're a parent

Who wants your kid to be better with money than you were — and knows you can't teach what you haven't understood.

If you migrated

To Australia (or the UK, or Canada) and had to relearn everything about money — and half of it never got explained.

If you grew up

In a household where money was never discussed — and you want to break that pattern before your kids repeat it.

What's inside

Six core modules.
Advanced tracks for your country.

CORE — everyone does these

01 15 min

Money without shame

Why the previous generation didn't teach this. Why "financial literacy" is a bad phrase and what to replace it with.

02 30 min

Compound interest

The one concept that changes everything if you get it early — and the one every article assumes you already understand.

03 30 min

Shares and funds

ETFs, index funds, "buy the whole market." What Vanguard is. What NOT to do. The one-fund solution for people who don't want to think about it.

04 30 min

Property and mortgages

The biggest financial decision most people ever make, with the least information. Rent vs buy. Fixed vs variable. Offset accounts. When to buy, when to rent, how to know.

05 30 min

Good debt, bad debt

Not all debt is bad. Not all debt is good. The rule is simpler than they told you and darker than they admitted. Mortgages vs credit cards vs BNPL.

06 25 min

Tax brackets, actually

Marginal vs effective. Why "moving up a bracket" doesn't work how you think. Salary sacrifice, deductions, payslip literacy.

ADVANCED — pick the module for your country. Or do them all.

Retirement systems, decoded.

Who's writing this

The version most people didn't get.

My parents were money-smart. They retired early. I spent my twenties assuming money-smart was a personality trait some people just had.

It's not. It's a set of things nobody teaches you.

I'm 60 now. Two of my kids work in finance. One helps me build Lil Banks. And I know exactly which conversations they had in their thirties that they wish they'd had in their teens.

This is those conversations. Written for the adult you are now, not the kid you were then.
