Sesame Street Financial Education
Have you heard about Sesame Street's financial literacy program? It's called For me, for you, for later, and teaches kids to save, as well as to give away, the idea of delaying gratification, and several other important financial topics. While we don't let our daughter watch TV at this point, I would probably utilize these videos and learning tools when she was older, along with our own family's discussion and education on finances. Several studies have shown that Americans are lacking in financial literacy. Maybe programs like this will help create a new generation of thrifty adults.
