Over here at His & Her Money, as parents, we know it’s important to educate our kids for the future. That also includes teaching them about money and building smart financial habits for them to carry into young adulthood. But where do you start, and when?
How do you determine the best place for your child? Wouldn’t it be great if there was a place where kids and parents alike could learn the importance of saving and work towards instilling these habits together? Well…there is!
On today’s episode of The His & Her Money Show, have we got some information to share! Tanya gives valuable insight into setting your kids up for success through goal setting.
Tanya Van Court is a single mom of 3, an entrepreneur, and an incredible resource for anyone looking to get their kids started on the right financial path early on. After leading digital programs for Nick Jr. and Noggin, Tanya finally decided to combine her passions – kids, education, and technology – and launched Goalsetter.co, a savings and gifting platform for youth.
Tanya has always been successful in business, but in the beginning, she wasn’t so savvy with finances. In fact, she once lost over a million dollars in stocks! She knew she didn’t want her kids – or any kids – to ever find themselves in a similar position.
As a result, when she encouraged her 8-year-old daughter to open an investment account, the immediate positive outcome piqued Tanya’s entrepreneurial instinct, and that’s where Goalsetter was born!
With Goalsetter, kids (and parents!) can set goals and start saving towards them, track their progress, and even receive gifts. Furthermore, creating a Goalsetter account is completely free, and in the coming months, kids will be able to open up their first investment account and take advantage of a new allowance feature. It’s a win-win for everyone, and the learning experience is invaluable.
Amazing things are ahead for Goalsetter, and thanks to Tanya, even brighter things are in store for all these kids already on the path to smart financial success!
