"You know I’m passionate about and teaching kids about money and investing. So I’m always looking for great ideas on how to achieve this. This week, I came across new Aussie app, Drip Invest"
... This week, I came across a new Aussie app, Drip Invest, that teaches kids under 18 about investing using real money, but under the supervision of parents. It’s designed to help under-18s build healthy financial habits and literacy using real investments"

Now our 3 kids are always discussing investments among themselves and monitoring their returns. It’s unbelievable!
I like the kids being able to be actively involved in investing but the oversight that Drip allows is perfect
Drip is a great product of our son to learn how to invest. Super easy to use and I am surprised how engaged my 13-year-old son is - he's loving the App. Great product - love the idea of setting up our children for success in wealth creation!
Some things you can tell your kids this is how you do it, but they just got to learn it themselves... The first time he chose an investment he was scared, so it’s good that he had me by his side.
Drip completely changed Luca’s mind. He said he never wants to withdraw so he can be financially independent and retire early.
We tell our kids that there's money that you save for the rainy days, money for everyday, money for charity and money for investments. Understanding the foundations of investing and making it more approachable to kids is the key start.
We like Drip because it has sparked conversations about spending, saving, and investing. It has changed my son's behaviour, as he now is thinking strategically about maximising his money and future financial planning.
Drip gave him a realistic idea of how much he could actually make from investing and how much he needed to save for his goals.
