BusyKid review: Turn everyday chores into a lesson in fiscal responsibility<article>
<section class="page">
<p>
BusyKid ($12 per year) is a web-based service that teaches children fiscal responsibility by encouraging them to perform household chores. For $12 per year, parents assign tasks to family members, placing a cash value on each chore and allowing children to determine how money is spent or saved.</p><p>This sounded crazy to me—cash rarely stays in my son’s pocket for long, being spent like a drunken sailor on shore leave. With BusyKid, children have the option to buy or use gift cards from 250 retailers, support a charity, invest in stocks from favorite companies, or save for later instead.</p><figure class="medium right" itemprop="associatedMedia" itemscope="" itemtype="
