Synopsis
Today's children are constantly bombarded with ways to spend money. GROW MONEY teaches middle school age children about money. The adventure begins with the origins of payments through barter, and works its way to saving and investing methods that are used today.
The reasons for saving are explained as well as both the readily known and not so common needs for money and the importance of it. The young reader is guided through a simple four container way of proportioning the money that they receive. Once their "jars" are filled the next steps of saving or spending are explained.
Important basic concepts of saving and investing are taught in an easy to understand, age appropriate way. Savings accounts and compound interest, retirement, charity as well as stocks, bonds and even Social Security are explained in an easy to comprehend age appropriate format.
GROW MONEY - A Kid's Guide to Saving and Investing should be required reading for all middle school age children.
