Buffett's First-Steps Playbook
A 25-page premium playbook · Buffett's 7 rules · No jargon · For families with kids 10+.

Most parents wish they'd learned this as a kid.
This is the closest thing.
Buffett's 7 rules aren't really about stocks. They're about patience, humility, and ignoring the noise. They work for a 10-year-old saving for a Lego set the same way they work for a 60-year-old approaching retirement.
Most investing books talk to grown-ups in finance language. This one is written to be read out loud — by you, with your kid, after dinner — and to plant ideas that stick for life.
Buffett's playbook is patient. So is this one. Read it together.

What's inside
25 pages organised into 9 chapters — read in one sitting, or one chapter at a time.
Rule 1 — Never lose money
What this REALLY means (it's not 'never have a bad year'). Why protecting downside compounds over decades.
Rule 2 — Don't forget Rule 1
Buffett's joke that isn't a joke. Two examples of how forgetting Rule 1 has cost smart people everything.
Rule 3 — Be greedy when others are fearful
Why crowd emotion is the cheapest signal you'll ever get — and how disciplined investors quietly profit from panic.
Rule 4 — Buy what you understand
The 'simple-test' Buffett uses. A worksheet to test your own picks. Why a 10-year-old's filter is often better than an MBA's.
Rule 5 — Time is your friend
Compound growth, illustrated with a tree. Two investors, same money, different start dates. Why time matters more than skill.
Rule 6 — Patience over picking
Most beginners obsess over WHAT to buy. Buffett obsesses over HOW LONG to hold. The math behind why he's right.
Rule 7 — Boring is the strategy
The unsexy truth: doing almost nothing for 30 years beats most clever strategies. A family ritual to build the boredom muscle.
Worksheets + Glossary + Closing letter
5 print-and-fill worksheets you can do together. A friendly glossary of finance words. A closing letter from Tally to your kid.
Why kids love it
🐯
Tally tells the story
Tally narrates the whole playbook. Each rule becomes a small adventure, not a lecture.
🎨
Illustrated, not text-heavy
Parchment-style artwork on every spread. Kids actually WANT to read this one.
🧩
Worksheets that feel like games
Fill-in-the-blank, draw your own example, mark the wise choice. Hands-on, not theoretical.
💡
Ideas they can repeat
After one read, kids remember 2-3 Buffett rules — and quote them weeks later. Try it.
🏆
A closing letter just for them
Tally writes directly to your kid at the end. Sign it together. Hang it on the fridge.
Why parents love it
🛡
Zero specific stock picks
We will NEVER tell your kid what to buy. This is about MINDSET — the part that doesn't go stale.
💛
No awkward 'investing talk'
Buffett's rules give you a vocabulary you can actually use. The conversation gets easier each year.
🧠
Beginner-friendly for YOU too
If you've never quite understood compound growth or diversification — this is the gentlest possible intro for adults.
🌱
Grows with your kid
Works at 10. Still works at 18. The same rules apply when they get their first paycheck — and they'll remember reading this with you.
📚
Premium feel, gentle tone
Parchment-style illustration throughout. Calm typography. Reads like a real book, not a worksheet.
🔁

When we improve the playbook (new examples, refreshed art), you get the new version free. No subscription.
How it works
- 1
Download the PDF instantly after checkout. Save to your phone, tablet, or print.
- 2
Read it yourself first — 30 minutes — so you know what's coming.
- 3
Pick ONE rule per week. Read that chapter out loud with your kid.
- 4
Do the worksheet together. Compare answers. No 'right' answer needed.
- 5
Talk about it at dinner. One question per week. Watch your kid's vocabulary grow.
- 6
Come back to it next year. The same rules land deeper as they age.
That's it. One playbook. Seven rules. A vocabulary your kid will use for the rest of their financial life.
Built for homeschool, classroom, and curious adults too
Whether you're teaching one curious 10-year-old at the kitchen table, a homeschool co-op, a Year-5/6 classroom, or your own adult brain — Buffett's rules are universal.
📚 Homeschool families use one rule per week as their finance module — 7 weeks, done. The worksheets become the assessment.
🏫 Primary teachers print the worksheets for class. Kids debate Rule 3 (Be greedy when others are fearful) with surprising sophistication.
🧠 Adult beginners — you read it for yourself first. Many parents tell us the playbook taught them more than 10 years of half-read finance articles.
📕 Pro tip: print, bind, keep
Print on 120–160 gsm cream paper, comb-bind at any print shop (~€8), and you have a parchment-style family heirloom that lives on the bookshelf — and that your kid will pick up again at 18 with new eyes.
One playbook. Years of use. A real keepsake.

The reading level is geared to 10+. An 8-year-old can join in with you reading out loud — the worksheets will be a stretch but the stories work.
My teen is 16. Is it too easy?+
Not at all. The rules scale up — Buffett's wisdom is universal. Many adult beginners tell us they learned more from this than from a decade of finance articles.
Is this financial advice?+
