Introduction to Financial Literacy - Money Management for Teens! - YouTube
Sunday december 22
I've had that link up for a few days now but never got back to it. It's to a course on money and financial management I found on You tube, which interests me because my twelve year old grandson has recently been interested in the stock market, and for tsome time has also shown an interest in managing money in general. He likes to keep track of his money and carefully budgest his expenses for instance. He makes money doing some chorse. I was looking for a book on the stock market for his age group but didn't find that yet, although this course probably covers that topic in one of its sections. Still I'd rather have a book on the subject.
I opften think how what this country has needed for a long time is a general education in the founding principles of the nation, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and any other writings that would help understand this truly different form of goverfnment we have that few of us have ever even begun to appreciate properly. I cewrtainly wouldn't want the Left to teach such a topic, as they already do in the universitties to our great detriment, so how could this happen anyway. I think of conservtives getting together and running dosomething like a cafe, or maybe like a christian science reading room where people would go to find information hear lectures perhaps, have snacks and coffee and so on. Informatal and noncompulsory but a place where information is readily available and scheduled from time to time. the big think tanks do this sort of thing but not on a small enough scale and not available enough to the public. i'd like to bring some of what they do down to the local level. nd of course the principles of American covneemrent would be a major topic. THE major topic.
but UIlso think w could use other kibnd of information as well, such as financial managmenet, basic information about the stock market and so on. If my gransdson ins intereted there could be information greared to his age as well as to those of us who are older who are financially illiterate as I pretty much still am. Mentions of the stock market put me to sleep. They perk up my gransdson. But I suppose they could be made interesting even to me.
And then I tin of other lecture topics and books that could be availbalel, The cultural history of marriage and family for instance. Even housekeeping for those of use who managed to avoid that experience as children. I dunny, all kinds of stuff coudl be available in my little local cafe college reading room or however it should be thought of .
Anyway, that's what I had in mind when I put up that link.
But as usual I have to add that we're probably never going back to life as it was anyway, long enough to try to float such an tenterprise. Surely the Lst Days are galloping along and the end is nearer than we like to think. but then, we don't know, do we.
