Mon fils de quinze ans ne pensait qu'à dépenser son argent de poche dès qu'il le recevait. Grâce à ce cours, il a appris à répartir ses dépenses, à mettre une partie de côté et même à réfléchir à de petites façons de gagner un peu plus. Les explications sur l'établissement d'un budget simple sont claires et adaptées à son âge. Ce qui me touche le plus, c'est qu'il en parle maintenant à table de lui-même. Une vraie base pour son autonomie future.

اشتريت هذه الدورة لابني المراهق ليتعلم كيفية إدارة مصروفه الأسبوعي بشكل أفضل. الشرح بسيط جدًا ومناسب لعمره، والأمثلة عملية وقريبة من حياته اليومية. الشيء الوحيد الذي كنت أتمنى وجوده هو المزيد من التمارين التفاعلية بين الدروس.

Minha filha adolescente finalmente entendeu como dividir a mesada e até começou a poupar sozinha.

Coloquei minha filha nesse curso depois que ela recebeu a primeira mesada e simplesmente gastava tudo no mesmo dia. As aulas explicam de um jeito bem direto, sem complicar, e os exercícios fazem ela pensar antes de gastar. Em poucas semanas já vi ela separando uma parte pra guardar sem eu nem precisar pedir.

My nephew actually started tracking his allowance in a notebook after week two, which says a lot about how well this breaks budgeting down for teens.

Kupiłam ten kurs dla syna, który dostał pierwsze kieszonkowe i nie miał pojęcia jak nim gospodarować. Lekcje są krótkie i konkretne, bez zbędnego lania wody, a przykłady naprawdę pasują do życia nastolatka. Po dwóch tygodniach syn sam zaproponował, żeby część pieniędzy odkładać na coś większego.

Kursus ini bagus banget buat anak remaja belajar atur uang jajan, cuma menurutku bagian tentang menabung agak terlalu singkat.

Meu filho de treze anos terminou o curso todo em um fim de semana e agora ele mesmo separa parte da mesada para guardar.

십대 조카에게 소개해줬는데 용돈 관리 개념을 정말 쉽게 풀어줘서 좋았고, 다만 예시가 조금 더 다양했으면 하는 아쉬움은 있었어요.

Je me suis inscrite à ce cours pour aider ma fille de 14 ans à mieux comprendre l'argent, et honnêtement je suis bluffée par la clarté des explications. Les leçons sur la gestion de l'argent de poche sont très concrètes, avec des exemples que les ados comprennent tout de suite sans se sentir infantilisés. Ma fille a commencé à noter ses dépenses dans un petit carnet après la troisième leçon, ce qui n'était jamais arrivé avant. Le rythme est parfait, ni trop lent ni trop dense, et chaque module se termine par un petit exercice pratique. C'était exactement le genre d'introduction en douceur aux finances personnelles que je cherchais pour elle.

मैंने यह कोर्स अपनी पंद्रह साल की बेटी के लिए खरीदा था क्योंकि वह अपनी पॉकेट मनी को लेकर बहुत लापरवाह थी। शुरुआती पाठ ही इतनी आसान भाषा में समझाए गए हैं कि उसे बजट बनाना बोझ नहीं बल्कि मज़ेदार लगने लगा। बचत और खर्च को अलग रखने वाली तरकीब उसे सबसे ज़्यादा पसंद आई और अब वह हर हफ्ते खुद हिसाब लिखती है। सिखाने का तरीका बहुत व्यावहारिक है, हर पाठ के बाद छोटा सा अभ्यास मिलता है जिससे सीखा हुआ तुरंत लागू करना आसान हो जाता है। दो हफ्तों में ही उसके पैसे खर्च करने के नज़रिए में साफ फर्क दिखने लगा।
