New Animation Series Teaches Kids About Money
I'm always happy when I hear about projects to help kids learn to save:
The video and two others featuring the popular cartoon characters will debut this week nationally on the Black Family Channel during the children's morning programming.
The animated series, titled "Big Time Saver," extols the virtues of prudent money management, including saving for the future - "Don't spend it all ... on sneakers and bling" - establishing a healthy credit record - "Payin' my debt, it's my rep" - and creating a college fund - "All kids of every nation, make a cash donation to your sure foundation, your college education."
