Overview
This is your virtual jar of 936 coins. Each coin represents one week of your child’s life from birth until the age of 18 years. These are potential investments… We only get 936 before they reach adulthood…
After adding a child (see “Using the app” below) you will see some information.
The Child’s name, you can add more than one, their age, the coins left, coins spent, and coins to invest.
Coins represent the weeks of a childs life up until they turn 18. Coins left represent the weeks remaining until the child turns 18, and coins spent represent the weeks that have passed in their life so far.
Coins to invest represent the amount of weeks since you last clicked the invest button. If no coins are available for investment this will show 0. Every week that passes another coin will be added, click Invest and they will go down.
Using the app
Basic usage
When you first open the app, you will see an Add Child button, as shown in the following image. As well as a few options along the bottom of the App, we will look at these in further detail later in this guide.
To add your first child simply click the Add Child button, enter their name and birthdate, and click ok. In this example we will add a child called John with the birthdate of the 12th of November 2010.
Now we have a child added, the app will automatically calculate how many coins you have remaining to invest before they turn 18. For this example we can see there in the image, there are 474 coins left and 517 remaining.
You can also see that the Invest button is Active, it is only active and clickable when you have coins to invest in your child.
When you first add a child you will have one coin available to invest. Every week another coin will become available to invest. When this happens the Invest button will become active again.
Once installed the app runs in the background, it will automatically run when you login to your computer and a coin icon, will be displayed in your taskbar. Located at the top of the screen if you are on Mac or in the bottom right if you are on windows.
Right-clicking this icon will allow you to show the app, or quit it. Please note that quiting it via this option will stop the app running in the background until you start it again or restart your computer.
Closing the window will not stop the app running in the background.
