BusyKid review: Turn everyday chores into a lesson in fiscal responsibility

<article>
   <section class="page">
<p>BusyKid (http://busykid.com) ($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="http://schema.org/ImageObject" itemid="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2017/07/busykid-iphone-dashboard-100730458-medium.jpg">
