Here is a
compilation of AC4 responses to Kira’s question about teaching Financial
Responsbility to Kids.
I am interested in creating a summer program (or at least as a segment
of a larger program) that teaches children financial responsibility,
preferrably one that involves computers in some way (any way is fine, even if
it is just creating reports). My main goals are teaching kids the
importance of savings and working toward a financial goal, whether it is
college or saving for a new PSP. My target ages are 9-14. Any ideas
out there? Any experience to share?

Have you asked any of the banks in
your area? Quite a few of them have software programs already developed and are
willing to work together with you. |

Try a free online software from www.economis.net. It is a financial
literacy program developed by a Youth for Christ chapter in Yvonne Sawyer Family & Children Faith Coalition |

download the FASFA college fund application
and have the youth go through the steps to apply for the educational grant,
it will give them a headstart on thinking about what it takes to go to
college, it will also send a signal to the parents who will also have
to participate (although limited) in filling out the grant application. It
illustrates the 2.0 GPA requirements which some students believe is to low to
go to college and will help them understand that you do not have to a wiz kid
to attend college to get a great career you can be a normal youth with
goals... FYI Gar |

I certainly have been
interested in this subject and do training to help people
understand Mortgages and how money works and the rule of 72. It
amazes me how people want to pay off there mortgage when they should be
investing in there future. Go to my web site and look at the
presentation Harness the Power of your Mortgage www.bg2576.wlgweb.com . If you
are going to teach it would be important to see this presentation. And
I have other book resources if you are interested let me know. Stephen Hermida Cell 831-214-1936 |

I’m
not sure if these cost anything…they look like they might be
free. But I just found them in an attempt to research the same type of
program. The first link allows you to tailor a program to specific
youth age groups. http://www.consumercredit.com/resources.htm Meredith S. Young |
