Session 9
Children and Finance

The final series is about financial provisions for your children. We will cover information that is not taught in school about money or how to make it in life financially.

Things such as:

• How to balance a check book
• How to pay bills
• and other basic skills needed to survive

And for you:

• What is the best way to set up a savings account for your children.
• Protecting the funds until they are responsible and knowledgeable enough to handle their money.
• What about their needs for college?

This session will provide information to allow you to make informed decisions in order to answer these questions. In addition to this class, Equity Creator® has three programs for your children from age 8 to college.

Building Blocks™

This series is aimed toward children ages 8 to 13. We believe it is important to teach children about the importance of money and saving from an early age. This course will focus on the basic terms associated with money and finance, understanding the value of a dollar, learning the importance of saving, and much more. Sessions will involve hands on exercises, workbook lessons, and instruction.

Wallet Wisdom™

This series is aimed toward teenagers 14-18. It is during high school that most people start their first job and become responsible for small personal finances for things such as gas, cell phones, and entertainment. It is important for them to understand the value of a budget, saving, and planning for the future, and how to pay and manage bills. During this series we will focus on creating and managing a personal budget, different options for saving money, ways to finance college expenses, and much more.

Cash Concepts™

This series is aimed for college students and young adults who may be just starting out on their own and managing their own bills such as car payments, rent, groceries, etc. This series focuses on budgeting, saving, and understanding financial terminology to help them function on their own. We will touch on subjects such as renters’ insurance, student loans, buying your first house, managing your finances, and saving for the future.
