Kid's Consumer Corner

1998
The world of finance is not just for adults, kids can take part in it also. We tried to create a fun way of looking at the world of finance for kids between the ages of 8-12, The steps to learning finance and business are not as hard for children to learn as they are for adults, but they are challenging. We hoped that once kids got involved in their own finances, that they would find that learning about business, when you are a kid, could become a valuable resource when you become an adult. The world of finance is not just doing paper work. It can be very fun to learn, and once you get the hang of it, it will become second nature.
