Show HN: A "bank of my parents" for my young kids

Post by aintitthetruitt » Tue, Dec 09, 2025, 2:58 AM UTC

I'm sick of things like greenlight that charge a high fee when all my young kids really need is a basic ledger to intro the ideas. Would love feedback.

Excuse the vibes - I haven't styled yet.

I do something similar for my kids, but offline using GNUCash. It's from a book called "The Bank of Dad."

I track their funds, and provide a generous monthly interest rate. The idea was both to teach them how to manage money, and demonstrate compounding interest.

This looks really interesting, and if you could add different interest calculations that would be a nice addition.
