Thanks for your interest in the old Making Allowances Contest and CyberClub.
During the years 1999-2002, we ran a contest for great money earning and saving tips submitted by young people. We gave out quite a number of prizes to well-deserving kids and teenagers, as well as a few parents. They had some TERRIFIC ideas! We also hosted a CyberClub where members could read articles written by special guest authors, such as Kathy Lynn, parenting expert, author and editor of Parenting Today magazine.
We are contemplating starting a new variation on this idea, but we haven’t quite sorted out the details yet. Regulations in the financial industry have changed over the years, so we can no longer give out mutual funds as a prize, for instance, but we really want to give you a way to share your great ideas, so we’ll keep puzzling over this a little longer.
If you would like to stay informed with updates to our website such as a new forum for families to discuss financial literacy, alerts about new articles and resources posted here, information about changes to the site, and the release of any of Paul’s books in various formats, please subscribe to our mailing list.
Meanwhile, we have a question for you: Would you be interested in seeing the submissions from the winners in the old contest? Should we republish them for you here? If you’d like to see their ideas, let us know in the comments below, and we’d be happy to re-publish them for you here in this new website. Would you be interested in seeing us establish a new forum for parents and families to discuss money matters, ranging from allowances to chores and more?
Thanks again for your interest!
