How are you teaching your kids to manage their allowance and Birthday money?
All of the money resources in the world won’t help teach kids about money if their parents aren’t setting the best example.
Trish, you should try Tykoon! Tykoon helps you teach your kids how to earn, save, give and spend money. It will also help you get track of what they’ve earned and what chores they have completed. I agree with the poster before me – you have to be involved to help them succeed! And Tykoon will let you do that. Cheers!
