How to be a Millionaire: As Explained by a 4th Grader

Are you smarter than this 4th grader? Jenna Fink, of Frisco, TX knows her stuff. She drew the Elementary school grade category winning poster in the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) 2009 Be Money Wi$e National Financial Literacy Poster Contest.

“The purpose of the contest is to introduce young people to the concept of financial literacy, and allow them to express their understanding of it through art. This year, more than 4,000 posters were received illustrating the theme of ‘I’m going to be a millionaire because I…’”

Jenna beat out a bunch of other entries. And you can see why…

Imagine this was the basic education 4th graders received across the board, it would change so many things.

However it doesnt work that way so its up to us to take this advice and teach kids either our own or others.

Reminds me of the funny SNL video with Steve Martin: "Don't Buy Stuff You Can't Afford." So simple that kids can get this ideas, but so many adults can't grasp it!
