Gift Ideas for the Financially Inclined | WSJournal
Finding the right gift for kids to help them learn the basics of personal finance - while keeping them engaged - can be challenging. Simon Constable with The Wall Street Journal compiled a list to help for both kids and adults. Here's his list - and it includes our Money Savvy Pig as well!
Talking to kids about money is not easy and many adults struggle with how to say it in such a way that kids can understand and learn from as well. Our CEO, Susan Beacham, started a list of her top 10 things NOT to say to kids about money and offers ways to rephrase them. Here are links to each of the Top 10 Things from her blog. Please let us know what you think about these and add your comments to any you can really relate to.
In the spirit of the holiday season, I put together a list of my own favorite things to give this season that kids and adults alike will enjoy. Here are a few of those that made the top of the list this year:
1) Money Savvy Pig...
We learn best from those we love...so take advantage of the leverage you have in your child's life and give them the gift of money knowledge. The
Money Savvy Pig piggy bank is a beloved traditional icon with a 21st century tweak that reminds kids that there is more to do with moneythan just spend.
2) Movies!
Family movie time this holiday can be more than just entertainment - turn it into edutainment with these movie suggestions
