    Our Adoption Story - We Need Your Help

    I’m excited that Liza is letting me “guest blog” today, primarily because I get to do two things for my wife that I know she would never do herself: brag about how awesome she is and make a plea on her behalf. Liza is naturally a very private person. Yet in ...

Best Free Way to Organize Your Families’ Finances

by Addicted to Saving on February 4, 2012

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of DoughMain.com for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Have you heard of doughmain.com?

I hadn’t until recently and I am so impressed with their mission, which is to empower children to become better educated about money and financial topics.  We all know that much of our country’s financial crisis was because we as ADULTS failed to use money appropriately – what better opportunity to learn from our mistakes than to teach our children the right way to handle money?

Doughmain.com has some really fun games for kids like the financial responsibility game – they help kids better understand money while having fun at the same time. I encourage you to check out TheFunVault.com, SandDollarCity.com, and IRuleMoney.com – we were having fun playing them this morning!

In addition to these games, Doughmain.com provides family organizer tools that help in the following ways:

  1. There is an allowance tool that allows your children to accumulate “Dough Points” for doing chores and acting responsibly, and they can “cash in” for video game time, TV time, a trip to the mall – whatever you decide.  So fun!
  2. The chore tracker tool makes it easy for you to set up chores and keep the kids on a schedule. You can also integrate this tool to let the kids see how many “Dough Points” they’ll accumulate for each successful task completed.
  3. The online family calendar is color-coded so each family member can take ownership of the tasks that must completed in a given day, week, or month. And all of these tools can be accessed from your mobile phone, making it very easy to manage!

I encourage you to sign up for your own doughmain.com account by going HERE; use DOUGH as the reference when you sign up and you’ll be entered to win a $500 VISA gift card, which will be announced on their BLOG. This is a really fun tool and after playing around with it this morning, I’m really excited about this for all my readers.

Below is a sample screenshot of The Ford Family calendar and its fun color-coding.  Enjoy everyone!
