From a Kid Who Was Never Taught About Money
To a dad who's making sure his daughter—and kids like her—know everything he didn't.
Hi, I'm David Cooper
That's me as a kid—the one in the striped shirt. My dad was a fireman and my mom was a teacher. Two hardworking parents who gave me everything they could.
Piano lessons. Karate classes. Tutoring when I needed it. They poured their hearts into giving me every opportunity to succeed.
But there's one thing they never taught me...
Anything about money.
The Education I Never Got
It wasn't anyone's fault. They just didn't know what they didn't know.
Bought my first stock
Most people start investing in their 20s. I was a decade behind.
Got my first credit card
I didn't understand credit. So I just avoided it entirely.
I spent my 20s afraid of money because I didn't understand it.
I don't want any kid to feel that way.
Now at 33, Everything Changed
That's my wife and me. She's pregnant with our first child—a little girl who's going to change everything about my world.
When I found out I was going to be a dad, one thought kept running through my mind:
I'm not going to let my daughter grow up the way I did—wondering what a 401k is, afraid of credit cards, and clueless about investing.
So I started building Bank Roads—for her, and for every kid who deserves to understand money before life forces them to figure it out the hard way.
