AllowanceNet

Encouraging communication between parents and kids, AllowanceNet teaches the basics of earning, saving, spending, and managing money that many of today's youth and adults lack. Working with their parents, kids ages 6 to 14 develop a weekly list of activities to be completed such as "make the bed," "help in the garden," and "do the dishes." Parents can reward their child with money or Diditz, or simply use the program as a management system. Kids on site will not be able to spend more money than they've earned. In a fun twist, kids are given the opportunity to assign and reward their parents for various activities such as "pick me up ON TIME from practice." On the Web at www.allowancenet. com.
