Why I created Fábulas Financieras
I grew up in Monterrey, Mexico, without a strong reading habit. What truly held my attention were the short parables I heard as a child: simple stories that left a lasting idea.
At university, I discovered practical books that changed the way I understood money, work and decision-making. Reading stopped feeling like an obligation and became something useful and exciting.
I began to wonder what might have changed if someone had explained those ideas to me as a child through fables. That question became Fábulas Financieras: the books I wish I had read at eight, designed to make financial education natural, practical and engaging for families.
The three-jar method
Each story leads to a practical action: children divide their money among three clear purposes.
Spend with purpose
Learn to make thoughtful choices and tell the difference between a passing want and a genuine need.
Share
Understand generosity and the positive impact money can have on other people and the community.
