How to Teach Children About Business and Finance Through Free Online Browser Games

Financial education is often overlooked in the education system, much like other crucial life skills such as home maintenance and tax filing.

This oversight poses a significant problem as children grow up to become financially illiterate adults. As a result, they face ongoing financial struggles, limited opportunities for economic growth, and vulnerability to scams and predatory practices.

Ted Beck, the president and CEO of the National Endowment for Financial Education, emphasizes the importance of financial literacy for children, as it is a skill that will serve them throughout their lives.

"We all need to know how to manage our money," asserts Beck, noting that while some fortunate students learn about it in schools, it is essential to ensure that all children are equipped to handle their financial futures.

Beck even suggests that parents should begin teaching financial literacy to their toddlers, as this skill should be progressively nurtured throughout childhood. An effective way for children to grasp the concept of money as a "medium of exchange" is through educational games and activities.

How to Teach Children About Business and Finance Through Free Online Browser Games

It's a well-known fact that children are drawn to video games because they find them exciting and rewarding. Building on this, you can motivate your child to learn while having fun by introducing them to free online finance and business browser games available on Mortgage Calculator.

These games provide an entertaining and interactive platform through which your child can develop essential financial literacy skills.

Free Money Games on Mortgage Calculator

Mortgage Calculator is a versatile website that caters to both adults and children. While adults can use it to budget for their mortgage, children can engage in educational play.

The website offers a wide range of interactive money games, covering topics such as grocery shopping, cryptocurrency, software development, and real estate. This diverse selection ensures that children can learn not only about financial literacy but also explore areas like software development and block coding.

No Downloads, No Ads, No Worries

Additionally, after careful analysis of the website, it can be confirmed that there are no advertisements present on the entire site. Therefore, you can rest assured that your children would not accidentally click on any unwanted ads while browsing the website.

Money Game – Grocery Cashier

I highly recommend children give Grocery Cashier a try, as it is an engaging finance game that immerses players in the role of a cashier at a grocery store. In this game, players are responsible for processing payments from customers, allowing them to practice and improve their basic mathematics skills, such as addition and subtraction while using a virtual cash register that doubles as a calculator to input the correct amounts.

To add an element of challenge, each customer has a time limit, which progressively decreases as the game progresses. This feature encourages players to think quickly and make accurate calculations within a limited timeframe.

I appreciate the fact that players have the opportunity to learn more about the game before deciding to play it. Additionally, the inclusion of basic tutorials in every game ensures that players have a clear understanding of how to play and maximize their learning experience.

Overall, Grocery Cashier not only provides an entertaining gaming experience but also helps children strengthen their mathematical skills and develop quick thinking in a simulated real-world scenario.

Software Development Game - Code Panda

Mortgage Calculator goes beyond financial games. It also features block coding games, a prominent part of modern school curricula. These games help children understand basic concepts of coding and improve their cognitive functions.

One such game is Code Panda, where children are encouraged to use block codes to guide a panda through a grid and reach the bamboo. With 32 unique stages available, the game offers ample opportunities for children to engage and delve deeper into the world of block coding.

By playing Code Panda and similar games, children not only have fun but also develop essential problem-solving skills and logical thinking. These games provide a hands-on experience in a playful environment, making it easier for children to grasp coding concepts.

STEM Game – We Bare Bears Develobears

We Bare Bears Develobears is one of my top picks from the game list. It's an engaging STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) game designed to educate children about the various elements involved in creating a video game.

What I particularly enjoy about this game is the inclusion of a diverse range of mini-games that enable players to progress through different stages. As you play, you'll witness the bears' environment gradually improving, which adds to the overall experience. Moreover, the fact that it revolves around my favourite cartoon characters makes it even more appealing.

I strongly believe that this game has immense value for children as it helps enhance their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. By immersing themselves in the game, they'll acquire valuable skills that can be applied beyond the virtual world.

how to get out of debt

Fictober23 Prompt: 29 - "That's all? Easy."

Fandom: DPxDC

Rating: G

Warnings: -

A/N: I sometimes like to headcannon that Danny is actually a rich kid that doesn't live the rich kid style cause his parents use their money for their research and like to live a simple life. He goes to galas Vlad or Sam drag him to as his parents representative.

Damian had been prepared for another boring Gala to go through. His elder siblings as well as Pennyworth had made sure to take away any sharp blade he had on him beforehand. With the blades gone Damian refused to socialize with high society. What was the point in enduring the torture of pinched cheeks and repeating comments with double meanings and hidden insults as well as the 'boot' lickers, as one of his brothers liked to put it, when he wasn't allowed to return the favor these people were giving him with a quick blade swipe.

So Damian was hanging back, retreating to the corners and shadows of the room where people aside from his family wouldn't notice him. But being there gave him the chance to notice something else. At first Damian didn't think much of it but with the minutes passing he noticed it more and more.

Small colorful page markers.

He started tracking them. Eyes going from person to person as he scanned them for these markers. Always in spots and placements oneself wouldn't notice them on their own as well as by others around them. Sometimes they were even Color matched with the person's outfit.

Damian scanned the hall and his eyes landed on a teenager, younger than Drake but older than him. The other boy was gliding through the people seemingly effortlessly and unnoticed towards the snack table. Once there the teen appeared to be interested in what sort of food the gala was offering.

His eyes narrowed as he eyed the people the teen had passed.

A blue marker by the belt loop of an older gentleman.

Red marker on the purse of the lady dressed in purple.

Green marker on another man's vest.

He was sure these markers weren't on them before. Interesting, he missed before moving towards the teenager by the snack table. The boy by now had piled up one of the small plates high with some of the overhead foods and Damian first felt reminded of everting Todd went to a gala and immediately would go for the foods.

"You are quite sneaky." He spoke up after waiting somewhat politely for the other to acknowledge his presence. Which never happened even after five minutes and Damian having clearly seen the other looking at him from his corner of the eye.

"Oh, what do you mean?" The teen then said after swallowing a bite of food.

"I presume the page markers are what you're doing?"

"Damit, not even an hour in and I am already busted." The teenager muttered and Damian arched an eyebrow. "Look, I don't know whose rich kid you are but will stop as long as you don't tell the fruitloop. I am here to represent my parents and if this fruitloop hears I am playing the game Sam invented for these galas he will-"

"I believe you misunderstood my intention." Damian smirked as he held out a hand. "My family found it adequate to take my blades. So I want in on this 'game' you are playing."

The teenager blinked at Damian before a grin spread across his face. He hurriedly placed his plate on the table before rummaging around in one of his pockets."Well that is a nice change! Your not a stuck up like the other kids here."

A block of green, red and blue page markers were then placed in Damians held out hand. "I am Danny Fenton by the way, representative of Fentonworks."

"Damian Wayne." He answered out of reflex as he inspected the page markers given to him, uncaring if the teen would now start fawning over his last name like he had seen others do before.

"Cool. So want to make it more interesting? This is more fun in a two player setting then one player." Damian inclined his head, not letting the surprise of the other teens lack of reaction towards his name show. Well it looked like Daniel, because what else got the name Danny stand for, would be nice company for this gala.

"Let's make specific targets for each other, maybe even placements. Sam always dares me to do specific things. If one of us gets caught is an automatic loss, the one with the highest successful placements at the end of this gala is the winner."

He smirked. Daniel had no chance, a game like this was easy for him. This was going to be an easy win. His league training as well as the training his father had made him go through was going to give him a clear advantage. He was playing with the thought of giving Daniel a chance by not using certain skills but after the first three targets, Damian decided that that would be unnecessary.

The gala went by faster, the two pointing out specific people or placements of the marketers to each other. They both had surprisingly their fair share of failures as well as success. In the end they both had a draw and were on their last page marker to place.

"This is going to be the final decision between, win, loss or draw." Daniel hyped up the game and Damian shook his head lightly at the others foolishness that reminded him of Jon.

"Well then, it would be only right to select the most difficult targets for each other."

"Well if that's the case, see the guy over there, the one with gray hair and a ponytail? That's the fruitloop. Place your last marker right to the left on his lower back, where his jacket covers over his belt."

Damian arched an eyebrow but the teen only grinned. He smirked if the other wanted to make it apparently difficult then Damian could provide him with a real challenge. "For you target, my father is currently talking to this 'fruitloop' as you call him. Place the marker on his back on his left shoulder blade."

Daniel would not be able to so, his father was vigilant and despite his act, very aware of his surroundings. His newly made gala acquaintance would fail and Damian would be the winner of this game.

"That's all? Easy."

The two boy's started to move towards the two adults. They shared one last glance before splitting up slightly in two different directions to approach their targets. Damian was close, his steps silent as he neared his target the 'fruitloop'. The page marker was tagged to the tip of one of his fingers. Once he was close enough he would be able to place it without even having to get too close.

His father noticed him and Damian gave him a polite smile as he moved like he was going to pass the man in his way towards his father. He did however not anticipate for his target to place his hand on the hip obscuring his target placement. Damian's hand instantly hid his hand behind his back transferring the page tag to his other hand and unconsciously clicked his tongue. He would have to try again.

"Fruitloop! Who are you talking to?!" He heard Daniel shout out of nowhere suddenly, his head wiping around to see the other clapping his hand on his fathers shoulder. The shoulder where he had told the other to place the marker. Damian ground his teeth. He was not going to accept a loss here.

"Daniel! Where are your manners?! This is Bruce Wayne. CEO of Wayne Enterprise. I am so sorry Mr.Wayne."

"No worries Mr.Masters. He is just like how my sons were at his age. It is good for teens to be so full of energy."

Damian narrowed his eyes as the other teen gave him a peace sign and mouthed the words 'I won.' As the adults returned to their discussion Damian glared at Daniel, his last page tag crumpled in his hand, he switched to stand on his fathers other side so that he was next to the teen now.

"I demand a rematch." He hissed agitated, to which Daniel only grinned wider. "Sure. The next time we see each other at a gala again. I will have two packs ready for our rematch."

Later that night when Damian had returned home from the Gala, he took off his jacket only to notice something green peaking through the folds of it. As he lifted it to inspect where the Color on it game from his eyes narrowed and his grip on the jacket tightened. On his jacked he found several green page markers tagged on it one of them even had a little ghost drawn on it. "Well played Fenton, well played."

Hades Charmes brain rot dump

Domestic Charmes Modern Au for my needs bc there’s not enough art of them HNNNNG (bless you AO3 writers)

Some designs for Hermes. (Charon’s still in the backlog in my head rn). Hermes with glasses anyone??? 😭

I’m in the deep trenches of making my own Au where Hermes and Charon are finance bros (god of commerce and the god who collects gold, duh, ain’t no way they’re dirt poor).

There’s plenty of fics that display Hermes as the black sheep of the family who’s running his own life away from his family doing odd jobs and barely hangs on (no hate I love them!!!) but there’s not enough Rich! Hermes out there so I just gotta insert my own brain rot. Charon and Hermes working for rival finance companies (one deal with future investment and one deal with settlement money/clauses after one’s death (idk if it’s a real thing but meh)

Check the tags for the synopsis lol AO3 style

Bless Jen Zee for long hair Hermes bc all the hairstyle I can conjure from this 😩🙏

The glasses started as a goofy accessory and ended up staying. Longsighted-Hermes who can’t see things that are close to him and uses contact lenses at work 👁️👁️. Only wears glasses at home (with Charon). Grows very little beard and is perpetually tired bc overworked! Hermes is so canon.

Lyra really said she was looking for a man in finance, with a trust fund, 6'5", blue eyes and she did but he's kind of working in a charity to give away the rest of what was supposed to go into his trust fund, he's actually 6'0" (he lied on his Tinder profile) and the blue in his eyes is more on the gray side. But you know, same thing.

[culturevulturette]

So basically...

[ralphralphralphralphralph]

If we’re made in “god’s image” then does god also have a crippling piss kink?

[thecircularlibrary]

for the people that had asked me about the fake love interest i made up for Alisa Ortega. i wrote them a meetcute.

money talks

words: 608

pairings: alisa x finance bro

warnings: cursing

Alisa needed batteries. Her office’s TV remote had died that morning and she needed to have the newscast on at all times to keep up with Avery and her pride. The first time she’d thought of that sentence, she’d meant it as a comparison to the fact that Avery’s inner circle resembled a pride of lions. However, on days like today, the announcement of the fourth annual Grandest Game, it went both ways. So she pulled her Bronco into a parking spot at the nearest CVS and ran inside.

Maybe while I’m here, Alisa thought to herself, I can buy myself some more fucks to give. Unlikely. She really did care about Avery and wanted to make sure today went well for her, but also kept herself aware that, despite her best efforts, a Hawthorne will always get in the way. Especially, because it was only a matter of time before Avery was one. 

She scanned the store, stopping to look at the candy aisle and grab some mini-M&Ms—Xander says the chocolate to candy ratio is superior—before heading to the batteries. When she finally found them, she noticed a few other people around, including a couple of guys her own age. Great, she not-so-subtly rolled her eyes.

As she finally found the AA batteries she needed, she realized there was only one pack left and went to reach for them. Except another hand got to them first. A man’s hand. She followed the hand up to an arm, then a shoulder, and finally a face. Ignoring that the man had a fairly pretty face, mostly because he had turned to walk away without even acknowledging her, Alisa grabbed his arms. He whipped around.

“Excuse me?” He asked, with one eyebrow raised and his face showing his confusion. Not that Alisa was paying attention, but the man was clearly in his early thirties, also dressed in business professional attire like her. He had dark skin and close-cropped curly hair. He had heterochromia. He wore glasses.

Not that she was paying attention.

“I really need those batteries,” Alisa pointed to his hand, where he held the package he had gotten to before her. He had no ring.

“So do I?” He responded, inquisitive. “What do you need them for that you can’t just go to Walgreens down the street?”

“A…TV remote.”

In retrospect, the man was completely right, and Alisa didn’t know why she was still entertaining the conversation. Especially once she actually voiced what she needed the batteries for.

“Oh. Funny enough, I need them for the same thing,” He looked up thoughtfully, before smiling softly. “I’ll tell you what. I’ll buy the batteries and I’ll let you have three of them. Free of charge.”

“Really? That’d be amazing. Are you sure you won’t need them?”

“No, but it’s only three batteries. I’m sure it’ll be fine.” He gave Alisa another thoughtful look. “My name’s Trent, by the way. I work at Manchester’s down the street.”

Manchester’s. As in the finance firm that had worked closely with her father’s law firm for years. He, Trent, looked at her expectantly.

“Oh, my name’s Alisa. I work at a law firm a little farther down,” she said, hoping he didn’t connect the dots as to who she worked for. She held out her hand to shake and he took it quickly. After he had bought the batteries (and her M&Ms, by the way) and given three to her as promised, she was safely in the office sorting through paperwork before realizing that there was a phone number written in Sharpie on her bag of M&Ms.

Trent O’Connell. (***) ***-****

[mayasaura]

Having worked in a law office makes ace attorney both hilarious and frustrating. What do you mean I have to find further contradictions in Lotta Hart's testimony? I've revealed she was lying about her occupation, her motive for being at the scene, and the level of attention she was paying the crime in progress. Her credibility as a witness is in the toilet, your honor, I move to dismiss her testimony!

Now I would like to submit new unreviewed evidence before the court that I just discovered during recess by snooping 😊 what the fuck is paper work?

[toydrill]

happy birthday to me!

[rox-of-iu]

No cause for celebration

And so it began, on this day, a full year later, at 43 minutes past noon, British Summer Time…

Particular fans’ take on this anniversary is not one to celebrate, even if their observations were correct.

They’re not. SRH wasn’t there. Nor was his mother. Particular fans have been squeeing over her older brother… and completely missing the point of her comforting him. Twelve family members sat in those first two pews: four siblings in the first, three siblings in the second. Everyone but the child in those pews was named in the notice. The three sons-in-law sat in the second pew. The newest son-in-law held his infant son on his lap, within easy reach of the boy’s mother. No one wore a wig to disguise their identity. There is no speculation or interpretation or wishful thinking or “JMHO” here. There is only reality.

If particular fans want to celebrate, how about celebrating the actual couple’s fourth wedding anniversary? Or the second birthday of their son, also an August event?

One would think arbitrarily reassigning a child’s paternity was as low as particular fans could go. One would be wrong.

For the past year, particular fans have hijacked a deeply personal family event and made it their business. They watched a distorted live-streamed video, took screenshots, misidentified individuals, marked-up, resized, posted, and reposted those images. Why? To salute their #GoldenReceipt.

In reality, they’ve been saluting a #PyriteReceipt. Fool’s gold.

Imagine strangers, watching the video and publicly posting screenshots of your loved one’s funeral, claiming a victory.

No boundaries. No respect. No class.

#ThereAreNoFuneralPics

Louder, for those in the back: There are no “funeral pics.” The distorted screenshots are not photos taken at the funeral.

But there is a candid photo — a clear outdoor shot — of five family members, published in two local newspapers the day after the funeral. Enter more misidentification, marking-up, posting and reposting.

The pictured minor child, whose hair, eyes, ear, feet, and clothing received excessive critical analysis, is apparently fake. Or is it the photo or the newspaper page itself that’s fake? As it is with most conspiracy theories, the devil’s in the details.

Imagine strangers, analysing a photo and publicly posting thoughtless comments about your child, claiming a publicity stunt.

No boundaries. No respect. No class.

And yet… particular fans managed to sink even lower. A month ago, 11 months after the funeral, an absolutely disgraceful post appeared on Tumblr, intended to compare three images of wedding anniversary surprises.

The first image is a screenshot of a wedding day photo posted on Instagram by an actress to celebrate her first wedding anniversary. The image includes a personal message to her husband, a professional athlete.

The second image is a screenshot of a wedding day photo posted on Instagram by an actress to celebrate her fourth wedding anniversary. The image includes a personal message to her husband, a world-renowned musician.

The third image is a pixelated screenshot, a particular fan took from a live-streamed video, of an actress and her brother at their father’s funeral.

Let that sink in.

💭 💭 💭 💭 💭

The date of the funeral coincided with with the actress’s wedding anniversary, but the image has nothing to do with that occasion. Nor did the actress post the image anywhere, much less include a personal message to her husband, a private citizen.

(If there was room for levity here, one might mention two weddings and a funeral. There isn’t.)

“Believe what you want” is not licence for slander. Or indecency. Or deliberate ignorance.

The actress in the third image deserves better. She is a human being with thoughts and feelings and hopes and dreams. She is not a doll or a character in a fan-concocted fairytale.

Imagine strangers, publicly disrespecting your marriage, mocking your spouse, and accusing you of lying and manipulating your way to career success. (Imagine their analysing your body shape and discussing pregnancies that never happened and children that never existed.)

No boundaries. No respect. No class.

Whilst make-believe is child’s play, appropriating a live-streamed funeral is not a game. Time beckons particular fans to brush out their pigtails, pack up Barbie, Ken, and the Dreamhouse, and grow TF up.

Remember… there’s going too far. Then there’s going where you never should have been.

Before we call anon rude because let’s see it from their perspective, imagine getting an entire feast to eat. That can be pretty hard to start with so much that’s going on, but if they start with one thing they know they’ll like (aka one character they like) that can be the start for them leaping to other characters to finish the story and the bigger story. I struggle the same way to start book series if I don’t have at least one character that drives me to read it, it’s all about what can be the hook to push them through. Sounds like the anon is neurodivergent (just a guess) so they might genuinely not see it as rude and see it as a solution to even play the game to start with.

Btw absolutely adore the game, the complex and rich characters making them all so unique is amazing. The art is so pleasing to the eyes I love it!! I’m waiting for it all to get out at once so I don’t get too impatient. Shae however interests me the most, which routes will have the most lore for them? Will there be routes that give more lore in general based on decisions you make or do they all share the same amount? (I mean general lore not just Shae lore)

Apologies; we are not trying to accuse any asker of being rude! We are simply explaining our perspective as the developers / are trying to broadly encourage folks to dip their toes into other areas of the story outside of the main route(s) they're interested in, especially considering some routes will be made available sooner than others, and these other routes will likely contain additional scenes/lore of everyone's fave(s) regardless! We want to give each main cast member an equal amount of love (and lore) regardless of their overall popularity, so our goal is not to tut-tut anyone for having strong preferences for one character over the others, but rather to explain that you may be surprised by how much *more* you learn about your preferred characters in the other routes. That's all!

For Shae... Well, they were a foot soldier for one of the worst periods of the War. Lore wise, any other story that touches on the War will likely have content relevant to them and their experiences. ^^

[smilebug]

the context of the 4th and 8th image on your recent post.. im begging.. what is it.. snarls

oops forgot about this ask + the tags on my most recent post asking for context 😳 thanks for everyone's kind messages btw!

I'm assuming you mean the third and eighth images, since the fourth is just some painting studies I did a while ago. those... are for a very special modern au I've crafted with my partner 😁

in those comics I drew, jesse is a lonely lumberjack who spends his time essentially as a hermit, and lukas comes into his life by agreeing to work for him, starting out as complete strangers to each other and slowly becoming friends as they only have the company of each other out in the wilderness.

after they become very close, several months after lukas first moves into his cabin, jesse sends him out on a job to collect a bundle of wood in the snow, in the middle of a blizzard. when lukas sets out to do the job, he slips and his leg falls through the ice of a lake, which is EXTREMELY dangerous and could've resulted in frostbite. he's in a lot of pain, but still sets out to finish the job that jesse assigned him to.

so he pushes himself through it, limps home with the wheelbarrow full of wood, and barely makes it inside with a soaked, freezing leg, and jesse loses his SHIT at the sight of it. immediately feels horrible for having lukas still finish the job instead of just coming back home, takes his pants off, tries to warm him up so he doesn't lose a leg, apologizes, and uh. yeah they bond. it's cozy in his house, warm by the fire, and quiet while jesse softly scolds lukas for still coming back with the wood, but thanks him for it anyway. just them alone in the woods, together, with totally no romantic tension in the slightest at all whatsoever 🤫❤️
