Thank you for your comment and support. We totally agree that if we can reach our kids with information and teach them a skill set early on they will have a much better chance of not only managing their money but managing their lives as well. Being responsible for ones finances tends to permeate into other areas of our life.

It is our responsibility to teach the next generation to understand and manage their finances so they do not go forth and repeat some of our mistakes.

Please no negative comments. You guys did an awesome job with this video including the kids. Its important to be smart and aware of whats needed in life and what are the necessities in life and what is just instant gratification that you can pass up on. The younger generation is our future and if we can be off to a positive start from the beginning we might not end up in the mess were in and turn things around.

Great video...Makes a tremendous amount of sense since our schools do not educate our children on finances or when they graduate from high school how they will be pre-approved for credit cards by dozens of banks then destroying their credit before they had any idea or clue what ever happened!

Our children/grandchildren need assistance!!!

@ibeheatha Right on. Kids today should learn good money practices as early as possible. Times are really tough right now and if we don't want the current situation to go on for years, possibly decades, we need to teach the young ones the value of money.

Great video. Kids should really be taught the value of money as early as possible. Whether it's dropping dimes, quarters and nickels in a piggy bank or opening a kiddie savings account in a nearby bank, kids should learn how to save. If they realize the benefits of having stored money at early age, there's a good chance that they'll bring the practice of saving into adulthood. Then probably, in the future, more people will enjoy a more comfy lifestyle instead of living from paycheck to paycheck.

Why most of these children speak like imbeciles when they should just speak like children!
