After Dinner Cents
The conversation your family needs.
If we don't talk to them about money, someone else will.
After Dinner Cents was created from a simple observation: most families never really talk about money.
School doesn’t teach it properly. Home often avoids it altogether. And so we quietly inherit money habits, good and bad, without ever questioning them.
After Dinner Cents changes that.
200 questions about money, life, and everything in between, divided across six topics:
No right answers. No scoring. No winners or losers.
Just honest, surprising, funny, and meaningful conversations about what money means to each of us.
How It Works:
Gather Your People
Pull up a chair and gather your people around the kitchen table.
Draw a Card
Draw a card and read the question aloud.
Everyone Answers
Youngsters and grown-ups included, no passing. Let everyone be heard.
Let it Flow
Let the conversation take you places. There is no endgame but connection.
Special Play Options:
-
Look it up — search online or ask AI before answering. Phones are welcome here.
-
Calculator time — work the numbers out together.
One question after dinner that everyone answers. Or go all in — draw cards, pick categories, answer questions, ask others, and play for hours.
