I loved playing money games as a kid. In the past, we didn’t have the internet, computers and 200+ malls to entertain you. All we have are our toys or anything to play with our playmates and neighbors at home or outside. Yes, we used to play outside with our neighbors, especially during a power outage. Kids and adults alike are out socializing, playing hide and seek, chatting or having a drink with the neighbors and just being together. those days!
We played a lot of board games in the past, Monopoly and The Millionaire Game are two of my favorites. I like it because I like counting money, even if it’s fake. I love buying properties, houses, hotels, and shopping, even if it’s just a symbol of me standing in a box in a board game, showing that I own these things. It’s all fun and games, but it’s where the imagination runs wild.
Those money games I used to play had a little bit of an effect on me, making me penny-pinching and money-hungry as an adult. I don’t want to be poor, or at least I’m going to do what I can to live a decent life.
I don’t know what kids play today to learn about money. I don’t know if children are playing online games for financial management. I wonder if their schools now teach them the value of money and hard work. I feel bad for parents or soon-to-be parents right now because parenting is hard and it’s even harder now with all the costs and inflation. This is crazy. I am very grateful for everything my parents did for me. Good guy! They are superheroes with magic, money magic.
If you want a financially literate child and a financially savvy child, you have to start them at an early age. You can let them try these free online entrepreneurial, business and money management video games that they can use as practice in real trading.
I’ve played a few, here are 3 money games I’ve played
stock
Stocks are my favorite because it gives me the knack of seeing how the market moves up and down quickly. This is a good practice and keeps me on my toes, buying when the market is down and selling quickly when the market is up because it all happens in a millisecond. You can lose or gain a lot of money, it’s all just about knowing the timing and really watching the market move!
Here are screenshots from my first 3 plays with stocks. See how I doubled my money on the third try! If only this were real life. But it is good practice money game to invest in stock market and become a trader.
Bitcoin TAP TAP Mine
Bitcoin Tap Tap Mine is also somewhat similar to the real deal.Though I think it’s a bit late to start the game now because cryptocurrency Having plummeted since their glory days in 2008, there are now potentially better new players. What I like about this game is that it gives you an idea of how to buy software to mine faster.
LIT APE NFT Generator
Lit Ape NFT Generator is a point and click game where you can earn more money by tapping ap on static NFT pictures to mint NFT. Honestly, I still don’t know how NFTs work and how they add value. By the way, NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token. One non-homogeneous token Created or “cast” from digital objects representing tangible and intangible items, including graphic art, GIF videos and sports highlights, collectible avatars and video game skins, designer sneakers and music.
“Even tweets matter.” Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey sells his first tweet as an NFT over $2.9 million.
Essentially, NFTs are like physical collectibles, only digitized. So instead of hanging an actual painting on the wall, the buyer gets a digital file. “
I still don’t understand NFTs nor the games I tried how I got all this money and why. What will happen to your NFTs and the money you invested if all servers crash and there is no internet or electricity?

LEGO City Adventure build and protect
The goal of the game is to build a LEGO city using various buildings that earn taxes that can be used to help build other parts of the city.
real estate tycoon
The object of the game is to make a profit from the purchase of property. This game doesn’t have all the nuts and bolts of the real estate market, such as interest-bearing borrowing, property cap rates, broader economic cycles and changes in credit conditions, supply and demand across industries, and more. Instead, it’s an oversimplified children’s game that helps kids manage attention and track trends. The game has 3 modes: career mode, time trial mode and endless mode.
Playing online games can be a waste of time, but it can also be relaxing during stressful times, so give your kids and yourself some time to play some online games to clear your head. Some games will make you dumb and some will make you smart. I think money games make you crave money in a good way.
