I have four kids, ages 8 - 17, and definitely want them to develop good money management skills. Our website, www.moneytrail.net, is a free service that can help parents stay organized and can teach kids & teens to keep track of their own money. We have seen our kids learn to make more thoughtful decisions with their money and have seen a reduction in impulse spending. Our teens are keeping track of their cash, cell phone payments to us, gift cards and IOUs. Keeping up with allowances, IOUs, cash and gift cards for kids and teens can be difficult to do these days.

The kids love checking their own balances and seeing where they are with their savings goals. We love that paying the allowance is automatic and that we can check their balances (and make transactions) while we're out and about with them. "You want to spend $2 on that arcade game? Sure, go ahead. I'm taking $2 out of your allowance right now." I did a lot of research to decide on what was the best site for us. To help other parents, I just wrote a series of reviews on these online allowance tracking websites and shared my test drives (with screen shots) over at www.growingrichkids.com. Providing the information here in case people want more detail without going through hours of research. I didn't cover Kids Allowance Bank but I did cover the rest of the ones listed above as well as MoneyTrail.net and Zefty.
