“What comes with the milk, leaves with the soul” — Russian proverb. One thing that school doesn’t teach you (not even high school) is how to manage your personal finances . As my eldest son’s birthday was approaching, we suggested that instead of asking for physical gifts, he ask for their equivalent in money. That way, he gathered a decent amount of capital for his first investment adventure. I explained to my kids that investing is like having a magic box that generates more money over time. To make it more visual and interactive, I decided to create a small app where they could see their investment grow day by day .
