I'd be willing to bet that only 5% of the parents in America know this. The Federal Reserve is actually trying to educate our youth on Money. With the exception of their non-existent advertising, this is a great program.
By visiting a Federal Reserve Publications site, you can order up comic books that will be delivered to your home FOR FREE. Each book has a specific topic all of which are geared towards teaching children about money.
Here are some of the titles. Clearly you would choose the items that make sense based on your child's age.
- The Story of Inflation
- Once Upon a Dime
- A Penny Saved
- The Story of Banks
There are 12 books in all and a few of them can actually teach me a few things. One is named, The Story of Monetary Policy. You may want to wait until Little Jimmy gets older for that one.
Order them today before you forget. More importantly READ them to your kids. Don't just throw them in with the coloring books. You have a chance to teach a lesson that will seriously last forever.
In case you missed the link above, here it is again: Federal Reserve Publications.
Finder's Link to Fast Pitch Financials where I learned about this.
You're right. I had never heard of this. Great site by the way. I've been reading the archives for 45 minutes
Great thanks
