Dear Reader,
Spring has certainly arrived here in San Diego. Because of our wetter-than-usual winter, we have a Super Bloom of wildflowers and even more butterflies than usual! I hope spring is also blooming in your part of the world.
See ya on the Net,
Barbara J. Feldman

Although there is more to learn about money than how to count coins and bills, the subject is largely ignored in most middle- and high-schools. But somewhere between giving them an allowance, and waving goodbye as they move out of the house, kids need an introduction to financial literacy, including learning about earning, budgeting, saving, and investing.
Money as You Grow
“Twenty things kids need to know to live financially smart lives.” Starting with 3-5 year olds, each milestone is grouped by age up to 18 and over. For preschoolers, the first milestone is “1) You need money to buy things.” For high-schoolers, the last milestone is “20) When investing consider the risks and the annual expenses.” Each item has pop-up activities to help your child reach the milestone.
Money Instructor
Money Instructor features lessons about money skills, earning, saving, investing, and starting a business. Each section includes printable and interactive worksheets, and lesson plans for teachers. “If you have a budget and stick to it, you will be less likely to blow your money during random daily spending. A budget can help you reach a financial goal because it controls how much you spend and how much you save. Budgets can help eliminate many money surprises because you’ve planned ahead and know what to expect each month.”
MyMoney.gov My Money Five
My Money Five are five building blocks for managing your money: earn, save and invest, protect, spend, and borrow. “Sometimes it’s necessary to borrow for major purchases like an education, a car, a house, or maybe even to meet unexpected expenses. Your ability to get a loan generally depends on your credit history, and that depends largely on your track record at repaying what you’ve borrowed in the past and paying your bills on time.”
