The Problem2Parents and kids are wrapped up in a culture of materialism and excess that they do not know how to break out of

Leading to: Kids who do not understand the value of money Parents who despise the excess materialism, but perpetuate it A culture that is centered around buying things rather than funding needs, dreams, or goals.

The Opportunity3There is no single place that enables young people to accept monetary gifts and inspires them to put them to good use saving, sharing, and spending to meaningfully support their goals and interests.

There is no good way for family, friends, and close networks to know what endeavors young people are into and easily support them in achieving their goals.
