Simple Finance Management for Kids: Shryk.com

I’m a huge fan of simple finance management web apps like Mint and Wesabe, but being a huge supporter of teaching children and teens about finance, those apps are totally geared to adults. Yesterday, Shryk.com debuted at TC50 as a platform focused on the age 5-24 crowd. Shryk describes itself as being focused on building financial literacy for the younger demographic to inspire a generation with entrepreneurial spirit and aid transition into adulthood. They also have an online 2.0 banking platform called iThryv with a cartoon-like interface for kids and cool tools for teens including a ‘savings score’ to promote good financial habits.
