I believe it is important to (a) start with elementary age school children and teach them about basic financial concepts (b)cover today's problems such as inflation, deflation, and the relationship between risk and return, and identity theft. Again, I am referring to teaching these concepts to elementary age school children. I know it can be done, as I have done that through my 20-volume series "Finance for Kidz."

Sometimes, comments are there to make a statement and aren't looking for responses so we let those speak for themselves. Re spam, we use the Akismet plug-in for Wordpress. It's incredibly effective.
