Our little ones are BIG SPENDERS!

Incredible as it seems, American children spend over 4 billion dollars of their own money each year. Yet how many of them know how to make a savings deposit, budget their money or plan for long-term goals? With so much cash to spend, kids aged 8-12 have grown into one of the most sought-after consumer markets in the country. Children are inundated with ads, pressured by over-indulged peers, and are even being wooed by credit card companies.

Turn those headlines of WOE into headlines of WEALTH

Economic downturns. Mortgage meltdowns. Plummeting stock markets. In every newspaper and TV sound bite, we are reminded of the dire financial challenges the world is facing… the world our children will soon be inheriting. Today perhaps as never before, it is critical that our sons and daughters develop sound money management habits, and the skills they need to build a secure future. It has been said that those who do not learn from the past are destined to repeat it.

Well, here’s a news flash: The Centsables are not about to allow that to happen to your kids!
