The overall idea, that it’s important to teach kids about money, is so important. I watched grandparents and aunts/uncles swell up with credit card debt, but I didn’t fully understand what was happening to them until I got in a hole with my credit cards. Luckily, I was able to dig my way out and now understand the ramifications of buying things on credit. If I had parents who had explained interest rates and savings plans… Who knows where I’d be today?

One of the things I’m hoping to do with my life is some sort of financial program with kids. I was thinking of a summer camp of sorts, or just classes and things for elementary kids all the way up to high school/college/young adult types. And, of course, working with adults as well.
