I Don’t Want To See Your Child In My Office

I work with young adults every day who have become overwhelmed with their finances. I am saddened when I have to assist a college graduate in trying to repair their low credit score, or worse, help them file for bankruptcy.

I often wonder why these young people, the future of our economy, are completing their college education without even the basic financial skills needed to succeed today.

Money management skills are vital, and the sooner they are taught to children, the more effective they are. You are in a unique position to ensure your child’s financial success from a very early age, right at home.

I have personally enrolled my young children in the Financial Whiz Kids program. Through the reports and updates, I can see for myself how well they are learning money management skills. But beyond that, I can hear the excitement in their voices when they share with me some new goal they have reached with their character.

I am convinced that this program is exactly what today’s youth need in order to remain financially secure in the future.

Financial Whiz Kids is designed for kids, with entertaining and engaging content that will help children develop their understanding of money from a very early age, By learning these concepts now, your child won’t need to come see me later.

 

Sincerely,

Dan Whitier

Enroll them in Financial Whiz Kids!

The Financial Whiz Kids program is a secure, online members-only club designed for families. Through online games, quizzes, videos and a realistic, interactive township, your child will not only have tons of fun, but will learn basic fundamental financial skills that will last a lifetime.

Won’t My Kid Learn This Stuff In College?

Knowing these skills now may seem obvious to you, but sadly the vast majority of college students don’t possess even the basic fundamental knowledge to manage their own money.

And kids who aren’t prepared to handle money…often mishandle money. Bounced checks, overdue bills, bankruptcy, and moving back in with mom and dad are all very real possibilities when a young adult heads out on their own with very little, if any, money management skills.

Students and parents agree that college students are not well prepared to deal with the financial challenges that lie ahead. Less than one-quarter of students or about 24% and only 20% of parents say students are prepared to deal with the financial challenges that await them in the real world. More than three-quarters of students, about 76%, report that they wish they had more help preparing for their personal finances. (The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.)

A survey by MasterCard, from August 2012 showed 64% of parents with college-bound children are worried about their children’s ability to manage money.

Experts You Know Endorse Financial Whiz Kids

The statistics are frightening:
 

Imagine your homeschooler heading off to college. You’ve given them a well-rounded education in all the major subjects. You’ve invested your time and energy to make sure they are prepared for life on their own.

You have an advantage because you educate your child at home. You can certainly teach your kids all about money management yourself, or you can trust the opinion of the experts. The Financial Whiz Kids program is endorsed by:

These companies, and more, know Financial Whiz Kids provides a safe, engaging online experience that will ensure your homeschooler learns all the necessary financial skills they need as a young adult.

How Exactly Does Financial Whiz Kids Work?

Just as you wouldn’t give your homeschooler a math test without instructing them how to solve the problems and allowing them to practice, you shouldn’t send them out into the world unprepared to manage their finances.

The secret to getting kids to want to practice money management? Kids like video games. The characters, the quests, the friendly competition with other players. Financial Whiz Kids has all these exciting video game components designed to hold your child’s attention.

Following the adventures of Budget Bear, your child’s character explores Budget Town and earns rewards for completing tasks. Mini-games within the story line reinforce financial skills.

Role-playing as a citizen of Budget Town engages your child in the story. Friendly competition between club members helps fuel the desire to explore higher level challenges. Since some interactions within the game are dependent on the choices the character makes, the outcomes can be different…

… and suddenly your child is chatting outside the game about how well their budget worked or how quickly they were able grow their savings account in Budget Bank.

Financial Whiz Kids does the teaching for you, freeing your valuable time for other tasks. While you prepare lessons, instruct another child or plan homeschooling adventures, this program gives your child an opportunity to practice money management before they actually need the knowledge.

Best of all, it’s entertaining! It’s exciting! It’s fun! Your homeschooler learns without even realizing it!

Real World Effects of Financial Whiz Kids

After spending some time with Financial Whiz Kids, your child will have the confidence to:
 

…because they’ve learned and practiced all these skills in a safe and entertaining educational environment.

And while it’s true that learning a skill is rewarding in itself, kids enjoy tangible rewards.

Which is why Financial Whiz Kids offers Rewards Points for skills mastered through online quizzes, puzzles and tasks. The Rewards Points can be redeemed through our online Brainiac Store for real items such as notebooks, stickers, pencils, wallets, backpacks and more.

“I’m a professional mommy blogger who gets about 30,000 hits on my website each month. Based on the comments on my blog posts about Financial Whiz Kids, you have a home run! My readers are very enthusiastic about this club. Their kids are buzzing about the points they can earn for cool prizes… but also, they talk about how dumb it is to rack up debt and how you should plan ahead for big expenses. These comments are coming from 13-year-olds! Wow! So glad you’re out there. Thank you.” — H. Walters

You can rest assured you have made the right decision by enrolling in Financial Whiz Kids. But don’t take our word for it. These parents know first-hand how vital money management skills are, and their children got financial skills training from Financial Whiz Kids.

“My local mommy group has done a lot of research to try and find programs that teach our kids about money. Most websites are too boring or too cartoon-y/childish. We needed something for older kids (tweens), which was very hard to find. Then we came across Financial Whiz Kids and all I can say is HOORAY! Each of us enrolled in the Club and our kids love earning points for stuff they really want… while also learning how to budget for things and avoid debt. Thank you!!!!” — J. Sanders

Kids learn to bank their points much like cash, to budget and save for larger prizes, including a stuffed version of our mascot, Budget Bear.

“I homeschool my children and I’m always looking for ways to bring real-life lessons into my teaching. Your program is fantastic. Every day, my kids ask… when are we going to do Financial Whiz Kids? They love the games and they especially love earning points when they pass the quizzes. They each opened a bank account, and now they understand how interest works. It’s such a relief to know my children will be well-prepared for managing their money when they embark on their own lives as adults.” — T. Bazell

And those are just three of the thousands of parents, just like you, who have benefitted from enrolling their children in our program. You can find even more testimonials and endorsements on our website at www.financialwhizkids.com/testimonials

Still not convinced?

As a homeschooling parent, you have genuine concerns regarding your child’s education. You want what is best for them. You want them to be wildly successful on whatever path they pursue. You teach them at home, so you know what they’re learning.

But even if you send your child to a public or private school part-time, or for their high school years, you will still need to instruct them yourself in money matters. Why? Because most schools don’t teach financial literacy!

Enroll in Financial Whiz Kids today and your homeschooler will be well ahead of their peers in understanding money management and financial responsibility, and well on their way to a lifetime of wealth and success.
