GREENLIGHT: App For Kids Ages 5 - 18 To Help Them Manage Their Own Money
We love Greenlight because it offers parents and their children the tools to manage their kid's money. Children learn how to use a debit card, and through that, they are taught how to spend, save, and invest their money! Parents can send money to their card through the app and kids cannot spend what isn't there, which is a pretty useful lesson within itself! The first-month trial costs US$4.99 and can be used for up to 5 kids.
