Tykoon is an online website that allows you to teach your child financial principles through allowances, assignment of tasks and daily chores. As the parent, you can assign a cash value to the things you want your child to do. Then, your child can go in, accept the task and add to their wish list of what they would like to purchase with the money that they earn.

Let’s start with the parent side of things. The parent must be the one to set up the account. You simply enter your information and your child’s information to get started. You are then able to assign allowance amounts to your child.

Then you can add tasks for your child to accept and link them to either their weekly allowance or a pre-determined amount. Your child is then able to accept or decline their tasks. They can see how much each task earns, how often they need to do it and what they will get if they do! They can add items that they are working toward earning and can even earn nn-cash incentives such as extra TV time or staying up late!

Tykoon is a great way to start teaching your child about responsibility and financial principles in fun and safe way. Through the creation of their own profile and the ability to accept or decline tasks, they are taught the skills that they will need later in life when they are managing their own budgets! So, head over and sign up for a free account today and watch your child get excited about doing their chores!

And right now, as a special reward, if you share Tykoon with your friends and have five friends sign up and stay active for more than a month, you’ll earn a ＄25 Amazon.com gift card! So get your child enrolled(注册), tell your friends and let’s start teaching all our kids about the important financial principles today!
