Teaching Kids About Money in a Cashless World: A conversation with Mydoh CEO Angelique de Montbrun

Kids today rarely use cash but they’re still making money decisions every day. So how do we actually teach them healthy money habits in a digital-first world?

In this episode of The Great Canadian Piggy Bank, Christi Rae sits down with Angelique de Montbrun, CEO of Mydoh and a parent herself, to talk about how kids really learn about money through earning, spending, saving, making mistakes, and having honest conversations at home.

They discuss:

• Why letting kids make small money mistakes is essential
• How digital money changes the way kids understand spending
• Balancing parental control with real financial independence
• Why flexibility matters when teaching neurodivergent kids about money
• How money education needs to evolve as kids grow
• What it actually means to raise financially confident kids

This episode is not sponsored. Christi uses Mydoh in her own household and invited Angelique on because the product sparked meaningful money conversations at home, not to sell anything, but to share what’s genuinely working.
