Designed by Northwestern Mutual and the National Council for Economic Education and geared toward middle school and high school students, their teachers and parents, this site introduces personal finance and business principals to kids.

“Sections on this site have been designed for families. Most pages are written in a kid-friendly style so families can work together – or older children can work independently in learning money lessons. However, some sections have been developed exclusively for teachers and parents.” Ideas for Teachers contains activities to illustrate sound money-management concepts. The Parents section provides tips for mentoring and nurturing children, to help them grow in financial responsibility. Some of these tips lay very simple groundwork and can be used before children start grade school.

Textual information is categorized as Earning (or careers),Saving, Spending, Tracking Money, Investing, and Owing. There are also multimedia activities related to each topic in Try It!
