Everyday Money Habits · Question cards

The room's question cards.

The course runs down a leader script — good, but it can't know what the person in row two is quietly worried about. These cards fix that: everyone writes down the money question they'd never raise a hand for, and the room's own questions start steering the weeks.

Objective

Give the room a way to raise the money questions no one wants to ask out loud — anonymously — and let those questions help shape where the sessions spend their time.

Use this when

You're leading the ten-week course and want the room's real questions — not just the leader script — to shape where time goes.

How to use these cards

Print one sheet per four people and cut along the dashed lines — one card each. Hand them out in the first session, in the same minute you say the room's rules.
Ask everyone to write the one money question they're a little embarrassed to ask — and to leave their name off. Anonymity is the whole point; it's what gets the honest question.
Collect the cards and keep the stack. Open each session after the first by reading one or two aloud and taking a few minutes on them — the between-session thread that turns ten meetings into one course.

If a card names a real crisis — a wage already being docked, a home payment far behind — answer it to the whole room by pointing at the right help, never singling anyone out; the coordinator guide covers that boundary. This sheet follows the ten-week course.
