MONEY LESSONS FOR KIDS
From L.A. Times Business Section
October 8, 2008
By Scott J. Wilson
Since adults seem to make plenty of mistakes with their money, Themint.org
offers a
financial literacy website to keep teenagers from doing the same .The
aim is to help teens learn how to earn, save, budget and invest money.
This youth-friendly website is filled with colorful graphics, polls, and
playful quizzes such as “When will you be a millionaire?”
Articles address such topics as the pros and cons of credit cards, what
to expect in a starting salary and the risks and rewards of various investments.
There is also a section for parents offering tips about giving allowances
and using everyday experiences to help kids understand money, as well
as outlining some lessons for teachers to use creating a sample budget
or teaching about the stock market. This seems like a timely resource
to bookmark.
