Money Nobody Taught You is a 15-book illustrated chapter series that teaches teens real money skills through a story they want to finish. All 15 books are ready now.
Why it matters
- Most students leave school without being taught how interest, credit, scams, inflation and banks actually work. Many states now require personal finance for graduation.
- Each book teaches one plain money rule through a story about a crew of teenagers and their uncle at a Texas repair shop. It works for students who don’t like textbooks.
For teachers
- Read-aloud teacher guide, about 10 minutes a day, no prep. Topics fit common personal-finance standards: saving, interest, credit, inflation, banking and scams.
- Workbook, parent letter, every-learner support. Teacher and principal toolkits are free (mntyedu.vercel.app/toolkits); student books and workbooks need a school license.

Student privacy
Your data, your choice: we don’t collect student or school data. Sharing results, reviews or quotes is always your school’s choice, and only with your permission. That includes the free trial. Nothing on these pages tracks anyone.
How results are measured
The same 10-question quiz before Book 1 and after Book 5. The Class Scorer turns it into a one-page Principal Report. One class over a few weeks shows encouraging signs, not proof. We make no outcome claims and show no reviews until real ones exist.
Who’s behind it
Paul Blankenburg, author: a former oilfield instructor and frac mechanic in Fort Worth, who writes about money the way he fixes a pump: plain and useful. Books 1 and 2 are published on Amazon Kindle. Contact: blankenburg6@gmail.com
