Sound familiar?
Cash gets lost
Allowance disappears in pockets and backpacks

The Saver
"My 8-year-old checks her balance every day. She's saving for a bike and loves watching the number grow."
The Spender
"When my son wanted a new game, he could see he didn't have enough. First time he understood "you can't afford it" without a tantrum."
The Earner
"Chores = deposits. My kids finally get the connection between work and money."
Let's be real
What this is (and isn't)
This is virtual money
Great for teaching, but you'll still need to handle real cash for actual purchases
Requires parent involvement
You're the banker, so you manage deposits and withdrawals
Needs a device for the kiosk
Works best with a dedicated tablet or old phone
Educational, not financial
This isn't a real bank account (and that's a good thing!)
Think of this as training wheels for financial literacy - the perfect stepping stone before real banking.
