I work at a magazine called Young Money. We are distributed free at college campuses and our goal is to help kids learn about money. Looking at the world right now it is amazing how many people do not know how to budget and save money. It’s never too early to teach your child good financial habits that will stay with them forever.
We have just launched a new free stock market game. This is a virtual trading simulation to teach kids about investing, finance, math, and the importance of independent research. It’s a fun way to introduce kids to the world of finance and a good opener for starting a dialogue about what is going on in the world right now.
Each player gets $1,000,000 of virtual money that they can use to invest. You can enter contests and win real money or you can start your own private contests so kids can play against their friends or with their familes. You can find the game here: http://www.youngmoney.com/stock_market_game
Our goal is to help kids learn and help parents teach them. If the current economic crisis has taught us anything it is the need for better financial literacy in this country. I hope that this helps, even a little bit.
Thank you ,
Cara Newman
