Question 1

How much allowance should I give my child?

Accepted Answer

A common rule of thumb is $1 per week for every year of age (a 7-year-old gets about $7/week), adjusted for chores, cost of living and what the money needs to cover. Kash lets you set any amount and frequency, then adjust it as your kid grows.

Question 2

Is there an allowance app that doesn't need a bank account?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Kash tracks allowances, purchases and savings entirely as a virtual ledger. There's no bank account, debit card or kid personal data required, unlike Greenlight, GoHenry or BusyKid.

Question 3

How do I teach my kids to save money?

Accepted Answer

Give them a visible savings goal — a physical jar or a digital wishlist — and let them watch progress toward it. Kash's wishlist feature turns saving into a game with a progress bar for each goal.

Question 4

What is the 'Bank of Mom and Dad'?

Accepted Answer

It's the informal arrangement where parents hold their kids' cash and track balances themselves, instead of using a real bank. Kash formalizes this as a virtual ledger: you still hold the actual cash, the app just tracks who owns what.

Question 5

Should allowance be weekly or monthly?

Accepted Answer

Weekly works best for younger kids who need frequent, tangible feedback. Monthly suits teens learning to budget across a longer stretch. Kash supports either schedule per child, so you can switch as they grow.

Question 6

Should allowance be tied to chores?

Accepted Answer

Parenting experts are split — some tie allowance to chores to teach work ethic, others keep them separate so kids learn money management independent of contributing to the household. Kash works with either system, or a hybrid.

Question 7

What's a good savings goal tracker for kids?

Accepted Answer

Look for something that shows visual progress toward a specific item, not just a balance number. Kash's wishlist feature lets kids add a goal, set a target price, and watch a progress bar fill as they save.

Question 8

Is there a pocket money tracker that works in any currency?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Kash is currency-agnostic, so it works for pocket money, allowance, or any family money system regardless of country or currency.

Question 9

What financial literacy milestones should kids hit by age?

Accepted Answer

Roughly: ages 4-6 learn coins have value, 7-9 learn saving vs. spending, 10-12 learn budgeting for wants, and 13-16 practice larger goals and delayed gratification. Kash gives kids a safe practice ground for each stage.

Question 10

Can one allowance app track multiple kids?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Kash supports multiple children under one family account, each with their own avatar, balance, schedule and wishlist, so you're not juggling separate apps or spreadsheets.

Question 11

Is Kash free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Kash is free to download and use. Optional upgrades are available weekly ($0.99), yearly ($9.99) or as a one-time lifetime purchase ($9.99).

Question 12

Does Kash need my child's data?

Accepted Answer

No. Kash doesn't require your child's name to be real, doesn't ask for a bank account or ID, and only collects anonymous analytics and crash diagnostics that are never linked to identity.
