Description
Book Introduction
A vivid fairy tale about the experiences of children who receive their first allowance!
Learn how to manage your allowance and basic economic knowledge to build the fundamentals of economic life!


Recently, children's stock YouTube channels and children's books on financial knowledge have become very popular.
There is a growing number of parents who are opening stocks or funds for their children to develop economic awareness and open their eyes to economic trends.
Now, investment and economics have become familiar topics that even children have probably heard of at least once.
But just because it's familiar doesn't mean it's easily accessible to everyone.
Especially for children who don't know how to properly manage money, it's bound to still be a difficult field to navigate.
How can we best teach money management, the cornerstone of economic education? There's a saying, "One experience is worth a thousand words."
Learning how to save and spend money wisely is more effective through experience than memorizing the essentials.


"Today is the day I get my allowance: The first step to managing my allowance smartly" is a children's story about a child who receives an allowance for the first time and begins managing money on his own for the first time.
Children are bound to get excited when they have money they can spend as they please without their parents' permission.
It feels like I can buy anything I want.
As a result, you may end up making impulse purchases without even considering whether you really need the item, or you may end up spending a lot of money without even realizing it by getting addicted to games that rely on luck, such as claw machines.
Then, when children are faced with a situation where they really need money, such as a friend's birthday, and they don't have money, they naturally reflect on the times when they wasted money and decide to spend money more wisely in the future.


This book vividly captures the emotions and experiences that any child who receives an allowance for the first time experiences.
Children gain vicarious experiences by empathizing with and projecting themselves onto characters who resemble them.
By experiencing everything with the protagonist: regrettable spending, the joy of satisfying spending, the joy of spending meaningfully for those in need rather than just for yourself, and the sense of accomplishment of saving up to do something you've always wanted to do, you'll gradually develop sound spending habits and learn how to manage your allowance wisely.

The back of the book contains basic economic knowledge that children who are just starting to manage their money should know, such as how the money we use today came into being, what types of money there are, what 'electronic money' is that will be used more often in the future, what consumption is, and how prices are determined.
The simple and easy explanations, along with the witty one-panel cartoon illustrations that make the meaning clear at a glance, make it fun for anyone to read and understand.


How about giving our children the first impression that economics is easy and fun through "Today is the Day I Get Allowance," a book that vividly tells their own story and explains economic knowledge in a soft and fun way, and helping them develop sound economic concepts and spending habits?

Publisher's Review
“What are the benefits of writing down my allowance?”
“Why should we consider opportunity cost?”
“How much change should I get?”
There's plenty to read, see, and think about!
If you immerse yourself in the fun of reading books, your economic sense will grow!


When the protagonist, Hyunwoo, starts receiving allowance, he makes a promise to his mother.
You can spend the money as you wish within your allowance, but you will write down your allowance in the ledger every time money comes in or goes out.
At the end of each episode, there is a pocket money journal written by Hyunwoo.
Each day's allowance received, bread purchased, and pencil case purchased are all recorded one by one.
At the end of each episode, there is a monthly financial statement that summarizes the month's income and expenses.


Children will learn how to write an allowance by seeing how the income and expenses mentioned in the story are recorded in the allowance.
You will also realize why keeping an allowance ledger is important as you watch Hyunwoo reflect on his spending and resolve to spend his money on more worthwhile things next time.

Throughout this book, there are sections titled ‘Let’s Calculate’.
Let's create a formula and find the answer by substituting addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division for things we often calculate in real life, such as calculating the money Hyunwoo spent while buying various items, how much he needs to pay for something he wants, how much change he needs to get, and how many months' allowance he needs to save to reach his goal amount.
The equations are explained step by step like the explanations in a math textbook, so even children who are still not good at basic arithmetic can easily understand them and have fun studying math.

In "Think About It," we provide a little more food for thought regarding the content of the story.
We guide children to spend more wisely by explaining why spending money on things like claw machines, which make them feel like they can get expensive things for less money, is unwise; what opportunity cost is and why it is necessary to consider it when purchasing things; and what to be careful of when using electronic money such as rechargeable cards.
Additionally, the 'Take a Break' page, which unfolds the content in the form of a cartoon, enriches the book's structure and allows children to enjoy the book more without getting bored.

After reading this book, children will feel that their economic sense has grown by a lot.
You will learn how to spend money wisely, the fun of planning and saving money, and be able to apply it in real life.
Guide your children into the world of enjoyable economic life with "Today is the Day I Get Allowance," a book that they can read, experience, and study as enjoyably as my own story.
