Teaching Your Children About Money

• Green$treets: Unleash the Loot! Children can rescue their favorite endangered animal while learning financial literacy along the way
• Kids Money: Basically a savings budget app for kids
• Piggybot:  A virtual piggy bank for parents to manage kids' allowances. The app serves as a digital IOU for kids and parents to track how much kids have earned. Parents can receive push notifications as reminders to "pay" the allowances, and then kids log in to claim them. When they're ready to cash out, they just let their parents know, and the adults can make one trip to the ATM.
