Jeff and I have encouraged our kiddos to be financially responsible from a young age. When Greenlight reached out to me for a partnership I could not have been more excited! Greenlight helps kids learn valuable financial lessons through their Greenlight app and personalized Greenlight debit cards for kids. When I told our 10 year-old he was getting his own kid’s debit card he replied, “Mom, I am ready!” How cute is that?

The Greenlight debit cards are for kids, managed by parents. We chose the option to personalize their debit cards and I love how they turned out! How cute are these? Love seeing their fun and sweet personalities.

I have enjoyed watching the financial decisions my children have made while using their Greenlight debit cards. My son is motivated by chores and getting things done! On the Greenlight app there is an in-app chore list option and he loves checking off his chores. In return for doing his chores, he can earn allowance money that can be added instantly or allowance can be on autopilot-weekly or by the month.

My 16 year-old daughter is starting to think more about her future and save for college. She has been using the savings tool on the app. She babysits our son often and can earn extra money that is easily transferred into her savings account. She is also looking to invest in some stock options and there is an area on the Greenlight app for that as well. As Jeff is a financial advisor, it has been fun hearing their conversations on who and where she should invest. We are looking forward to watching her financially grow with Greenlight!

Their first shopping experience was a hoot to watch to see the differences in their personalities and how they choose to spend their money. My son decided to spend some of his money on snacks, his favorite items ever :) My daughter bought a cute headband and went home and styled an outfit. Love it!

One of our family goals for our children is to raise them to be financially responsible and prepare them for adulthood. Greenlight has been a tool to continue to develop independence in financial decisions for our children. It has also been convenient in many ways! Here are some of the examples that Greenlight has been incorporated into our lives.

. Both our kids are taking more financial responsibility in their everyday decisions.

. Each child is able to spend, save, invest, receive allowance and give independently.

. As parents, we get real time notifications any time they use their card, giving us peace of mind.

. Their Greenlight debit cards are personalized with their photos keeping identity theft at bay.

. The debit card for our teen is encouraging her to save more for her future as she can see her decisions daily on the Greenlight app.

. Our son has been more motivated to get his chores done by seeing his progress through his chore checklist.

. The Greenlight debit card blocks any unsafe categories, which keeps peace of mind for parents.

. Each child can set money aside for charitable donations. This is one of my favorite attributes! How amazing is that? Teaching our children to GIVE is so important to our family!

Greenlight will continue to be a part of our children’s financial daily decisions. To see both of our children at different ages and stages get excited about their finances makes both Jeff and I so happy! Teaching our children financial responsibilities at an early age, we believe will set them up for success in the future

I would love to hear your financial success stories with your kiddos! Please share!
