Create:
1. Plain-language paycheck breakdown showing gross pay, deductions, and net pay.
2. Beginner budget using save, spend, give, obligations, and future goals buckets.
3. First-three-paychecks plan with realistic dollar or percentage targets.
4. Savings goal tracker for the teen's top goal.
5. Required-cost checklist for transportation, uniforms, meals, phone, and school expenses.
6. Subscription and impulse-spending guardrails.
7. Banking setup questions for teen and parent or guardian.
8. Payslip review checklist and tax questions to verify with a qualified adult or professional.
9. Conversation guide for family expectations and matching contributions.
10. Simple weekly money routine that takes less than 10 minutes.

Do not invent tax rules, employment rules, or account eligibility. Flag anything that needs parent, guardian, school, bank, or tax professional review.
