Gamification

Gifting Stocks

Gift stocks, not toys, on birthdays to familiarize kids with investing early on. Choose a stock they'd like or consume, like Disney or McDonalds. Monitor the investments with your child regularly. Andrea Woroch, Money-Saving Expert

Gift Cards

Buy gift cards from Stockpile to give kids fractional shares of big stocks like Amazon or Disney as a recurring gift for birthdays, to encourage investing. Andrea Woroch, Money-Saving Expert

Keep It Positive

"Teach kids hard financial truths positively and entertainingly. They're smart and can handle it. - Bob Weinschenk, Co-creator of FreeKick"

Don’t Overcomplicate

Avoid complex finance topics like credit scores or stocks if your child is unacquainted. Start simple. - Bob Weinschenk, Co-creator of FreeKick

Explain Purchases

Discuss buying, selling, and saving impacts with your kids. Explain your choices and timing. -Bob Weinschenk, Co-creator of FreeKick

Start With An Allowance

Start with a clearly understood allowance. Is it tied to chores or as sole revenue for leisure activities or future savings? Defining this helps kids make spending decisions. Bob Weinschenk, Co-creator of FreeKick
