How It Works

Three simple steps to building real financial skills — no real money involved.

1

Parent Assigns Chores

Create chores with a virtual coin reward. Set expectations, due dates, and let kids know exactly what they need to do to earn.

2

Kids Complete & Earn

Kids mark chores done and earn virtual coins straight into their wallet. You approve completions, keeping you in control.

3

Spend Wisely or Save

Kids use their coins in the virtual store or save toward bigger goals — learning trade-offs and the patience of saving.

Why Parents Love It

Real financial skills built through play — without touching real money.

Build Money Habits Early

Children who practice financial decision-making before age 12 carry those habits for life. Start the foundation now.

Zero Real-Money Risk

Kids practice earning, spending, and saving with virtual coins — so every mistake is a free lesson, not a lost dollar.

Work Earns Reward

Kids learn that money isn't given — it's earned. Completing chores directly connects effort to financial reward.

Learn to Save & Spend Wisely

With a virtual wallet and store, kids face real trade-offs: buy now or save for something bigger? Great lessons, zero stakes.

Parents Are Seeing Real Results

Families across the country are turning chore time into money lessons.

My son used to ask for money constantly. Now he checks his chore list every morning without me saying a word. The fact that there's no real money involved made it easy to say yes — and the lessons are very real.

My daughter saved up for three weeks to buy a 'movie night' reward in the store. Watching her make that decision herself — instead of begging for things — was a total parenting win.

I was skeptical at first, but MakeKidsEarnIt completely changed how my twins think about earning and spending. They even argue about which chores to grab first now. Highly recommend!
