For Teens & Twenties

Your money era starts here.

Your thoughts and feelings impact your finances more than any spreadsheet can. Knowing about money isn’t the same as knowing your money because it leaves out the biggest player in the game -you. There’s no spreadsheet out there buying coffee and boba or planning its summer job. That’s you. Which means understanding what actually matters to you — So let's start there.

A Gift from You to You

What makes Cashtoons different from all the other financial guidance out there?

  • Personal finance is not about numbers on a page. It’s about using the tools that are out there to protect and pursue what’s important to you.

    It’s about what you do, not just what you know. Your habits, thoughts, feelings, and routines all combine to create your true priorities. The ones you live every day. Why not be intentional about how those are shaped? - Make sure you agree with you.

  • Your best interests are our only agenda. No recurring subscriptions or buy-now-pay-later options. No selling you financial products or selling your personal information to companies that will use it to target you later.

    It about the f-word: fiduciary. Upholding a fiduciary standard means our only motivation is what’s best for you. This sets us apart. Many “educational” apps will slip in questions that provide them with valuable info about you that can be used to sell you stuff (“customize your experience”). We never do that.

  • If personal finance is not your thing, we made Cashtoons for you. Easy, quick, memorable, and impactful. Learning how to money doesn't have to be like taking your medicine.

    The challenge isn't finding more financial information — it's finding the right information in a format you can actually use. Two minutes on your phone. 10 minutes during your coffee break. A series you can finish. That's what we build.

  • You face a financial landscape that didn't exist a generation ago — gig income, buy-now-pay-later traps, rising costs of living, and advice that keeps referencing a world that no longer applies.

    Cashtoons meets you where you are, with all your real life challenges and opportunities.

It’s your financial life. Shouldn’t you be the one driving?

Your thoughts and feelings impact your finances - that’s not a bad or a good thing; it’s just the truth of human behavior. Money stuff happens: spending, earning, saving, etc. The key is to be the one making the decisions behind your financial actions or inactions. To make sure a decision is actually being made - not just stuff happening. The car is going whether you are intentional about the direction or not, make sure you’re in the driver’s seat.

How do you get the keys to the car?

Knowing your money starts with knowing yourself - all the different versions of you (happy, hungry, tired, excited, worried, stressed) and what drives the things you do - The why behind your finances. You might do all the same things, but you will have made the decisions. You’ll be the one driving the car, not the unchecked thoughts, fears, or impulses of the moment. This isn’t a young adult thing. This is an everybody thing. The only difference - you can sit in the driver’s seat from the start.
