Financial Literacy for All!  How do kids learn about money? They don't magically learn to become financially responsible. Nor do they usually learn sound personal finance practices in school.  They have to be taught these principles and allowed to practice them (on an appropriate scale) from an early age.  How will you teach your children to be more financially successful, avoid living from paycheck to paycheck, and steer clear of crippling credit card debt?  This course presents an overview of money management and concepts.  Learn about stocks, bonds, and mutual funds and the strategies to make investment decisions with confidence and teach your kids the basics of financial responsibility.
