Friday, February 1, 2008 Why only 8% make it Financially - Frugal Friday & econmics course Posted in Home Schooling I have started making an economics course for our dd & ds. In today's world we as the parents need to be teaching our kids about money more than any other generation. take 100 teenagers aged 15 and think about where they will be in 50 years - ie aged 65. 38 will be dead 62 will be alive. of those 62 that are alive 38 will be dead broke 16 will still be working 7 will be retired on a livable income 1 will be wealthy Noel Whittaker has these stats in his book - Making Money Made Simple. Rather sobering don't you think! - • Post A Comment! • Send to a Friend!
