Kids And Investing

Stephanie called in to the Clark Howard Show today wondering how to educate herself and her child on investing. (He’s ready to take on Wall Street.)

If you’re in the same boat, here are some resources that can help:

Janet Bodnar has written “Investing for Kids”. I’ve met Janet. She is Dr. Tightwad and an editor for Kiplinger’s. I haven’t read this book, but I’ve read others that she has written. It’s probably a good bet.

For websites, check out:
www.moneyopolis.com
www.jumpstart.org

When you’re on the JumpStart website, be sure to check out the Clearinghouse. You can search for great materials that will help you teach your children about managing their money.

If I find other good websites, I’ll continue to post them.
