More About Kids & Money - Specifically Girls

Posted on December 17, 2008
Filed Under Kids and Money |

One of the readers who commented on my post about educating our kids about money was Andrea Stein, the creator of GirlMogul.com.  She created her information and shopping site to empower girls (aged 5 through tween and teen) to think outside the “Princess” box and offers encouraging messages along with great gifts and apparel (GirlPower gear).

The GirlMogul blog (GirlMogulMagazine.com) has a series of posts pertaining to girls and financial literacy that I recommend for parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers of girls.  The articles help girls explore feelings and beliefs they may have about money, determining “wants” versus “needs” (tough to do with any kid!), and provide good contructive exercises for girls to do to better understand money and budgeting.  Follow up posts are planned covering additional financial literacy topics and you can subscribe yourself or your favorite girl by signing up for the GirlMogulMagazine newsletter on their blog.

    Hi Sue, Thanks for this information. One of the best comments I have heard lately came from an 80 year old woman I met through SCORE. She said, “getting married is not a financial plan.” Be well.

    Hi,
    My name is Caren.

    I find your site http://www.mrsmoneymerge.com and the selection of resources there very interesting.
    I have a good credit card website that contains much useful information for your readers. There’s a fine set of articles that reveal all pros and cons of credit cards, give tips how to avoid credit card debt and establish good credit with minimum efforts. During the current financial crisis this can’t but attract more visitors to your site.

    If it agrees with your policy, I would like to place some links to my website at your site.

    Please let me know if you are interested via email caren@acclaimnetwork.com
    Thank you for your time,
    Regards,
    Caren.

    Welcome, and thank you very much for visiting the MrsMoneyMerge blog. My (real) name is Sue Edwards. I am the proud mother of Ryan, my 13 year old guru and teacher. The name of this blog was Ryan's idea because my chosen profession is as an agent for United First Financial, and I proudly represent the innovative Money Merge Account program. My involvement with UFirst has greatly increased my interest in the whole realm of personal finance. So, I decided to blog about it (and other stuff, as the spirit moves me). I appreciate you taking your time to read the posts here, and gladly welcome your comments and suggestions.

    By the way, I know that finding and comparing Credit Cards can be difficult but this site can help you.
