It's like magic, but it's real - and it's how money actually works in the real world.
Why Learn About Money Now?
Most people don't learn about investing until they're adults - and by then, they've missed out on years of potential growth. By learning now, you're getting a head start that could make a huge difference in your life.
Understanding how money works, how investing works, and how compound interest works gives you superpowers that most kids (and even most adults!) don't have. You'll make smarter decisions, build more wealth, and have the confidence to manage your money wisely.
"The earlier you start, the more your money can grow!"
Learning about investing as a kid means you have decades for your money to compound. That's a huge advantage!
Parents: Help Your Child Get Started
Squids-In is designed for kids age 10 and up, with parent supervision and controls. Your child gets engaging, age-appropriate financial education while you maintain oversight and manage the actual investments.
Cool Money Facts! 🎉
Compound Interest = Money Magic
If you invest £1,000 at age 10 and let it grow at 8% per year, you could have £21,724 by age 50 - without adding another penny!
Warren Buffett Started Young
One of the richest people in the world started investing at age 11. He wishes he started even earlier!
Time is Your Superpower
Starting at 10 vs starting at 30 could mean having 5x more money by retirement - just because you started earlier!
Small Amounts Add Up
Saving just £50 per month from age 10 to 65 at 8% growth could give you over £500,000. That's the power of consistency!
