Personal finance software for children

[clearedforlanding]

Can anyone please recommend a piece of personal finance software that:

Is not an app.
Is preferably not Web 2.0.
Does not need to import data from bank accounts.
Is simple enough for a 12 year old.

It's proving quite hard to find. My 12 year old doesn't need to file a tax return on her piggy bank or calculate PAYE on her pocket money.

And you are expecting a knight in a shining armour in "General" to help you with that?

[WTFH]

What does Gideon use?


Cause he's no better with money than the average 12 year old.

Could you not use Excel?

I could.

Does she have a contract of employment?

[Troll]

I could.

Could you not teach a 12 year old how to use Excel?

No. A tool that is easier to understand encourages adoption.

I want to teach my daughter the importance of budgeting, not spreadsheet formula.

I get what you are saying but surely if they can't use the tools to visualise it it's going to be very difficult. I did exactly the same with my two as a double edged sword to learn Excel AND budgets. Started them off with a simple list and taught them more complexity in small steps.

It's worth doing. As soon as they were competent with excel I got them on the company PAYE and paid them 10k each for book keeping.

Judging by the number of investment wizards and BTL millionaires that reside here I might just be lucky.
