Welcome to Quicken Kids & Money Members
by Harvey
Recently, we’ve seen many Quicken Kids & Money members join Active Allowance. A hearty “Welcome” to all of you!
It seems that, Intuit, the company behind Quicken, have shuttered the Quicken Kids & Money site, deciding to focus resources on their core corporate business lines.
We have to admit - we admired Quicken Kids and Money….and were also a little envious of their enormous budget. They did an outstanding job of helping parents teach children financial literacy. The world needs more of this.
And we also admired them because they espoused many similar views to our own. Quicken Kids & Money was skewed more towards advice, while Active Allowance is skewed more toward online, flexible tools…but the core philosophies are similar.
We know there’s a real need for this kind of service - our members tell us this every day. So we plan to continue to meet this need. And since our youngest is only 9 (we’re heavy users ourselves), we’ll be doing this for a very, very long time!
