Fiscal Nonsense — Money stories with questionable maths
An animated series follows five fictional people, aged 17 to 72, through everyday money decisions and the logic they use to justify them.
Field notes
Fiscal Nonsense builds its money commentary around five fictional lives rather than advice columns or financial formulas. The characters range from Maya, a 17-year-old balancing school and café shifts, to Ben, a 72-year-old repair-café regular and photographer. Their relationships form a three-generation family thread, while Alex and Leo widen the perspective. The visible episode centers on a discounted jacket and the self-congratulation that follows; the site also says tools, templates, programs, and merchandise are planned.
