Gen Alpha are spending big — here's 2 tips to raise money savvy kids in a world of instant gratification
In the age of instant gratification where Gen Alpha has easy access to instant delivery services like Amazon Prime and Uber Eats, some parents are wondering how to teach the young money-saving skills. Born between 2010 and 2024, Gen Alpha are not like other generations. They grew up with smartphones in their hands and the ability to make purchases at the click of a button. In fact, their spending prowess is huge. Gen Alpha spent £92 million ( $126.2 million) between 2023 and 2024, according to research from financial technology company GoHenry, which provides debit cards for kids in the U.K., U.S., France, and Spain. GoHenry published its Youth Economy Report in September 2024, which provided data from 311,832 GoHenry kids. Much of this money is going to online services, with GoHenry kids spending over £3 million on food delivery services, up 113% from the year before. Additionally, almost half like to make purchases on social media platforms like TikTok Shop, Facebook Marketplace and Instagram. Their economic footprint is expected to reach $5.46 trillion by 2029, according to research firm McCrindle. "Convenience and speed have become the norm," Louise Hill, GoHenry founder, told CNBC Make It in an interview. "One of the things we need to remember when we're thinking about Gen Alpha in particular, is that they are totally used to everything being available at the flick of a switch, at the click of a button, and this drives different behaviors with money." Hill explained that despite the influx of financial education resources online, there has also been a surge in money products and apps that are easy to use, such as credit cards, buy-now-pay-later options, and contactless payments. This makes it more complex for parents to navigate teaching money skills to kids. She emphasized the importance of kids understanding "that money has to be earned before it can be spent," and then spending it with thought and consideration. Hill said it's crucial for children to see the "tangible aspects of money" like physical cash, to understand its value. Giving "regular pocket money" is one solution, from giving 50 pence a week to £5 pounds. "If you give a child 50 pence and pick a day of the week that works for you as a family for pocket money, that might be Saturday, then you can literally give them 50 pence every Saturday. It is incredible how quickly they will start to realize 'Oh, look, it's every Saturday. If I save up four Saturdays, I've got two pounds. And now I can buy X, Y, Z, if I save up 10 Saturdays." Handling physical cash allows kids to know how much their favorite items cost. "You can give a child some coins, and then they can have the concept of how many of those coins get exchanged for a bag of sweets, versus a bigger toy," the GoHenry founder said. For teenagers, Hill proposed the method of "pizza budgeting," which allows children to visually understand how much money goes into running a household and paying bills. "The pizza is your pot of money, or your wages, or your pocket money and then taking the child through, 'Would you like to guess how big a slice of pizza we need to cut out if this is the household wages? How big a slice we need to cut out of that to pay the rent or to pay the mortgage?" As the pizza gets smaller and smaller, it creates an understanding of how much money is left over for leisure spending. Kids are like sponges and tend to absorb attitudes around money from their parents, so Hill believes it's good to keep them in the loop about household finances. She offered the example of the cost of living crisis in the U.K. after the Covid-19 pandemic, which was cited widely in the media. GoHenry started hearing from customers that their kids were concerned about the cost-of-living crisis. "Kids do soak up everything in that sort of situation where perhaps as a family, you're stressed about money," she said. Parents can talk about money struggles without raising the exact issue, such as if they're unable to pay the rent. For example, Hill said that if you can no longer afford to have a takeaway every Friday night, then get children involved in making a "fakeaway," which means making a takeaway at home. "What about getting the kids involved in making a pizza and choosing their toppings? Maybe even going to the supermarket with you and picking up those toppings instead of paying the money for a takeaway and then showing them how much money is being saved," Hill added. This can help children feel more in control of their money spending habits, and learn to tighten their belts when they need to as they get older.

Amazon outlines job initiatives in Europe's low-employment areas
In 2024, Amazon contributed over €41 billion to Europe's GDP, and over €29 billion to the EU27, according to their latest impact report, released on June 4. To put that in perspective, €41 billion is just a little bit more than the entire GDP of Latvia. "Our economic impact in Europe goes far beyond the numbers," explains Mariangela Marseglia, VP of Amazon Stores EU. "We're creating opportunities where they're needed most, supporting local economies, and helping to revitalize communities across the continent.' And whilst the impact may 'go beyond the numbers', let's take a closer look at the stats. In the EU, Amazon directly employs 150,000 people and the impact on communities outside of traditional employment hubs has created an interesting ripple effect on the local economies. In France's Hauts-de-France region, where unemployment sits at 8.7% - well above the national average of 7.3% - Amazon has created over 6,000 jobs in the past decade. This region has previously suffered from the deindustrialisation that has plagued many communities in Europe, with the loss of mining, steelmaking and wool industries. The retail giant's fulfillment centre at Lauwin-Planque employs over 2,600 permanent staff, with 84% living within a 30-minute drive. Eleven years after opening, 71% of locals report the site has had a positive or very positive impact, with 94% highlighting job creation as a key benefit. This is echoed across the EU as over 90,000 of Amazon's employees are based in areas with higher than average unemployment rates, according to a report from Eurostat. Research from Ipsos further revealed that 81% of residents near an Amazon logistics facility report increased job opportunities since the company's arrival and over half say financial improvements have led them to consider major life decisions like purchasing property or starting a family. While zero-hour contracts are banned in several EU countries, in the European countries that do allow them, Amazon confirmed this is not an employment method they practice. Related Where in Europe are workers losing ground as taxes rise faster than wages? Eurozone unemployment drops to record low levels in April In 2024, Amazon invested more than €55 billion in infrastructure and its workforce across Europe (€38bn in the EU27), bringing its total investment since 2010 to €320 billion. Although most people know Amazon for its e-commerce platform, a huge part of its business also comes from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and its cloud computing offerings. Future investments from the company seem centred around AWS and will drive employment in diverse skill sets. Some €8.8 billion is planned in the Frankfurt region through 2026, supporting 15,200 full-time equivalent jobs and contributing an estimated €15.4 billion to Germany's GDP. Moreover, £8 billion (€9.5 bn) will be invested in the UK before the end of 2028, supporting 14,000 jobs annually and contributing £14 billion (€16.6 bn) to the UK's total GDP. A further €6 billion is being invested in France to develop cloud infrastructure until 2031. Predictions estimate this will contribute €16.8 billion to France's GDP and will support an average of 5,271 full-time jobs annually. In Spain, a €15.7 billion injection will support 17,500 jobs annually and contribute an estimated €21.6 billion to Spain's gross domestic product (GDP) through to 2033.
