Three Tricks To Get More Treats From Card Searches

FamZoo’s built-in search and analysis tools for card activity are among the most powerful of any family card platform. They help parents become better money mentors. With FamZoo, parents can see all the card activity details they need — the what, when, how, and why behind any issues kids encounter with their cards.

Here are three quick tricks to help you uncover even more “search treats” hiding in plain sight:

Picking The Perfect Allowance Amount

Another day, another allowance survey.

A 2025 Wells Fargo survey reports that the average weekly allowance parents pay kids is $37.

A 2025 StudyFinds survey says children receive about $119 per month on average.

A 2024 T. Rowe Price survey found the average weekly allowance across respondents was $19.39.

Hot take: allowance surveys are completely useless.

The amount of allowance Parent A pays their child is meaningless for Parent B.

Why?

Boredom-Free Budgeting Practice for Kids

Budgeting is a critical life skill. So, it behooves your child to learn some budgeting basics before leaving the nest. But, like any skill, budgeting takes practice to master.

Unfortunately, few things sound more boring to your kid than: “Let’s build a budget together!’

How do you beat back the yawns? A little AI, an interactive scoreboard, and a cash bonus opportunity.

Try this technique using ChatGPT, Google Sheets and FamZoo. (Of course, you can substitute your favorite AI chatbot, spreadsheet, and payment method.)
