Teach Kids the Value of Hard Work
Let your children list what they want and need with prices and pictures. Then, assign tasks to help them earn it. Transform "I want" into "I worked for."

Wants & Needs List
Children can easily add items to their digital wishlist. They can upload a photo, add the price, and categorize it as a "Want" (toy, game) or a "Need" (school shoes, coat).
See how it helps →Real-Time Totals
Dad gets a dashboard view of the total cost. It’s an eye-opening way to teach budgeting. "If you want the £50 game and the £80 trainers, that's £130. How can we earn that?"
Financial literacy features →Work to Earn
Don't just buy it—let them earn it. Assign tasks like "Wash the car" or "Clean the garage" with a monetary value attached. They complete the task to unlock the item.

How families are using the tracker
"My son kept asking for V-Bucks. I told him to put it on his Wants list. I assigned him three chores worth £5 each. He did them in a day. It stopped the nagging and taught him work ethic."
"It's great for co-parenting. We can both see what shoes or clothes the kids need so we don't end up buying double or forgetting essentials."
"The 'Total Cost' feature blew my daughter's mind. She didn't realize her birthday list added up to £400. We sat down and prioritized the 'Needs' first. Great lesson."

Turning Wishes into Goals
In a world of instant gratification, teaching children that money comes from effort is one of the most valuable lessons a father can give. The DadLink Wants & Needs Tracker isn't just a shopping list; it's a financial literacy tool.
By allowing children to input the price of items, they begin to understand value. When they see a list totaling £200, it creates a conversation about budgeting. By distinguishing between "Wants" (a new video game) and "Needs" (football boots for the new season), they learn prioritization.
Most importantly, the "Work to Earn" feature empowers dads to set challenges. Whether it's washing the car, mowing the lawn, or improving grades, these tasks give children a clear path to achieving their goals through their own hard work, fostering a sense of accomplishment that buying a gift outright simply cannot match.
