Five Tips to Help Your Kids Thrive in Any Economy

It took America’s economy taking a nose dive for financial education for kids and teens to finally become a ‘hot topic’. Even still, financial literacy continues to take a back seat to the classic reading, writing and arithmetic directives from up above.

So, until financial education for kids and teens becomes the critical life skill it is, here are five tips parents can use to prepare their youngsters for solid financial success as adults.

Tip #1: Talk to your kids about where money comes from. Explain that money usually comes from work, i.e., trading your time and energy for the green stuff that supports our lives. Even more importantly, explain that money doesn’t have to always come from their work; it can also come from putting your money to work for you.

Tip #2: Familiarize your children with banks – not the piggy kind, but the institutions. A bank is the first place we go outside of the home to save our money. Kids need to understand how banks work so go with them as early as possible to get them their own savings account. Then, help them develop the important habit of depositing money into that account on a regular basis.

Tip #3: Talk about what it means to ‘invest’ money, not just save it. Investing involves the purchase of different types of assets (real estate, stocks, businesses) so that money grows over time, eventually providing for you when you’re unable to, or don’t want to, work anymore. Explaining the concept of compound interest or compound growth gives your kids a sense of what’s possible.

Tip #4: Give your kids plenty of opportunity and time for “money practice”: spending, saving, investing and donating. Practice is how we master most everything and plenty of financial practice now gives your kids the chance to make mistakes while the stakes are still low. It also gives them time to develop their self-esteem and confidence with money.

Tip #5: Help your children learn The Language of Money. Learning financial terms and definitions is the first step to successfully navigating the adult world of finance. There are lots of great money sites on the web. A fun, simple activity you can do with your kids is to financial websites and together, choose one financial terms to learn each day. Then, you and the kids look for the new terms in the financial sections of newspapers and magazines. You’ll be surprised at how quickly your children learn to speak the language of money.

These five tips can help you create financially savvy adults out of almost any child. And please remember, they aren’t going to learn this stuff at school so it’s your job as a parent to make sure they learn it at home.

Undie maker scores by inserting exam tips

AN underwear manufacturer in China has included examination tips in its packages in a bid to stand out from its competitiors, Sin Chew Daily reported.

Each pack of the zhuang yuan ku (top scorer pants) contains five underwear pieces and a handbook containing what it says are “the secrets to success in high school examinations”.

The manufacturer claimed that the tips in the handbook were written by top scorers of such examinations, in which they provide study tips and relate their experiences.

A photograph of five top scorers is also printed on the packets to back up their manufacturer’s claims that their tips are genuine.

The paper said the underwear packs were found mainly in supermarkets in China.

> The daily also reported that the Singapore Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has launched a manhunt for a cat killer in the republic.

The society has distributed leaflets to residents of 12 blocks of flats at Hougang, where a number of cats were found poisoned and abused to death.

So far, six cats have died and one seriously injured since early this month.

The flat residents were asked to be on the lookout for the cat killer.

> China Press reported that Malaysian actress Angelica Lee Sinje would again collaborate with her husband, Hong Kong movie director Oxide Pang, to make another movie. She said her latest film would be a thriller, but it would be different from her previous movies.

Asked who would be the male lead, Lee said it was not the time to reveal the cast list yet.

Lee and Oxide became a couple after making the 2002 hit, The Eye.

Arsenal news - Capello tips Wilshere for success, FA to investigate, Utd defeat helps limit blow

Arsenal news - Capello tips Wilshere for success, FA to investigate, Utd defeat helps limit blow

By Peter McVitie

Utd defeat helps limit blow.

Manchester United’s defeat to Wolves on Saturday helped Andrei Arshavin deal with the anguish of seeing his side throw away a four goal lead to draw 4-4 against Newcastle United.

The Red Devils’ 24 game unbeaten run ended at the Molineux as Mick McCarthy’s men came from behind to win 2-1.

United’s first defeat of the season turned Arsenal’s 4-4 draw into a point gained rather than three points lost as the Gunners now sit four points behind the league leaders.

Speaking to the club’s official website, Arshavin said losing such a massive lead was easier to take after United dropped points: “Everybody is sad. Maybe, just the Wolves' win over Manchester United slightly sugared the pill. There is no breakdown. We have no right to afford it. If we want to win, we shouldn't cry, we have to analyze this failure and draw the right conclusions. This day is already over. Now we have to think about and prepare for the next game in the Championship.”

Capello tips Wilshere for success.

England manager Fabio Capello has tipped Jack WIlshere to be an important player for both club and country in the future.

The Italian has compared the 19-year-old to Claude Makelele and has spoken to Arsene Wenger about where the youngster would be most effective.

Wilshere has made one appearance for the England national team at senior level when he replaced Steven Gerrard after 83 minutes in a friendly against Hungary.

Capello told the FA’s official website: “Wilshere, will be really important for the future ... He is a really young player but he is really important for me, because he can play a position on the pitch where I am looking for some players to play there.

"I hope he can be like Makelele in the future, now he prefers to play forward, but I monitored him in one game where he played in this position [in front of the back four] and he played very well. I spoke with Arsene and he told me he is better when he is going forward, but he told me also he can play in this position."

FA to investigate.

The FA will review Jack Wilshere’s criticism of Phil Dowd on Twitter but are unlikely to punish the 19-year-old.

The Arsenal midfielder hit out against Dowd after the referee gave Newcastle United two penalties and sent Abou Diaby off in the sides’ 4-4 draw and then blasted him via the social networking site saying: "Inconsistent refereeing needs to stop, it's killing the game.”

The FA will consider the comments but will most likely let the youngster off the hook.

His comments are not as bad as the comments Ryan Babel made about Howard Webb when he posted a picture of him in a Manchester United shirt, for which Babel was fined £10,000.
