DoughMain is a FREE Financial Learning & Family Organizing Website for Kids and Adults | Review
Life is busy and organization is a must. I have two children who constantly have doctors appointments, a husband who always has something to do for work, appointments for my husband and I, appointments from my clients to do their hair and so on..
DoughMain.com is a FREE family organization website that not only keeps all of our family members on the same page, they also provide tools to help teach children about responsibilities and the value of money.
The Online Family Calendar from DoughMain.com is one of the many free tools offered.
Completely customizable for each family member on your DoughMain.com account, you can color code events so even the youngest child will know what is on their schedule.
Setting up the family calendar was easy to do. I created an event, selected which family members would be involved, selected the option for an event reminder and submitted it into the calendar. Now each family member can stay up to date with events of their own or events from the entire family.
Also, to make things easier when my children get into sporting activities and school events I can import those schedules into the calendar, when their dates and time changes my calendar will update automatically! How cool is that?
One of my favorite tools from DoughMain.com is the Kids Chore Chart Tracker. Now I can make a list of everything that needs to be done around the house and delegate certain chores to each member in the family. Because Andrew is 4 the only chore he has is to pick up his toys in the evening and feed the dog in the morning. Over time more chores can be added on a day to day basis or an ongoing basis. I love that DoughMain.com makes things easy by providing you with a list of chores to choose from that are age appropriate or you can even create your own chore.
Each day Andrew can log into the DoughMain.com website, see what he needs to do for the day and mark the chores complete as he does them, as of now he does this with Mommy’s help. When a chore is completed the parent is notified and can then approve the chore in question, as chores are completed Andrew will accumulate “Dough Points” and can redeem his dough points for things such as allowances that you set up or for other privilege’s such as a fun activity they have been wanting to do.
In addition to the Chore chart and family calendar, DoughMain.com also provides free money games for your children.
The games provided are geared towards children ranging in age from k-12. We have been teaching Andrew about the different coins and found the The Fun Vault game to be very entertaining.
Your children are going to play video games, why not make it educational and teach them about financial responsibility?
There are a lot of great tools on the DoughMain.com website that will not only make your life easier, they will help making the “becoming responsible” process a little more fun for your child.
Here is a video with great insight on some of the features of DoughMain.com!

What an awesome site. I really need to get organized. I love the allowance and chore tracker.
they have a game designed for teens in the game category called “I Rule Money”
“I Rule Money is a website designed for teenagers as they begin to think about their own financial independence. Here, we answer questions your teens have about money and money management.”
Our school OFFERS classes about money management but not all kids take it. This game discusses rent, insurance, banking, jobs, credit cards and college loans, car purchases, etc. I think kids WAY before high school need to learn about this. , I got out the bills one night and showed our kids (middle school age at the time), d the expeditures and payments as well as total debt. How when you buy a house, after 20 or 30 years you can see how much you REALLY pay for it, PLUS have to keep it up and replace a lot of things. They had much more appreciation and thanks for what we do and give them, including the house over their heads, food, clothing, cable, phones, etc . after showing them. It was not to show them to be scared of finance and money, but to be prepared and sensible. High school is WAY too late IMHO. And I have to ask, do they have programs and games for HUSBANDs in MLC who think they have to have expensive toys. Maybe DoughMain can offer him a refresher course? LOL.
