And you thought learning about money was serious stuff! Ha!
This picture to the right is from this week's Train the Trainer program and the women standing with me is Elizabeth from Trinidad & Tabago! She has come to learn our program and license it so that she can go back home and make a difference. And did I mention that Australia and the Phillipines are here also!
If you can see the word behind her (left) shoulder, it says "Savings". Though we all know this is the first step (one of many first steps), it is really the investing of those savings that makes our money grow. Our 18 new trainers are learning how to teach Creative Wealth's Money Game to kids and adults around the world...and so much more. And did I mention we're having way too much fun doing it? You really should come join us some time. Even if you never ever taught a single Creative Wealth Program, you're life would be profoundly impacted in a positive way after spending five days with us.
Since I'm busy with training, I'm going to share a little more from my book, The Ultimate Allowance, so that I can get back to preparing them to change people's lives. Enjoy...

Success Calls Teleseminar:
How to Pay for College Without Going Broke with Reecy Aresty (bio below)
Date: Tues., Nov. 18, 2008
Time:
6PM PST (9:00 EST).
Call in number: 641-715-3840
Code: 425304#
Reecy Aresty, a noted financial advisor and lecturer since 1977, has helped thousands of families to protect their assets, increase their wealth, and at the same time reduce their taxes. In 1979 while living in Chicago, he began to focus on the complicated and ever changing College Admissions and Financial Aid Process. In 1993, Reecy relocated to Florida and has since continued helping college-bound families get their students accepted to the schools of their choice, and pay less than they ever dreamed possible! He also shows college parents how to appeal unappealing financial aid offers and negotiate with financial aid officers to obtain the absolute best possible aid package! For more info on his company before the call, visit paylessforcollege.com.
NOTE: Our culture used to think that taking out school loans for college was a good investment. Not so much anymore. If the degree your child is going to get isn't a technical one (doctor, lawyer, engineer, etc.), borrowing a lot of money to foot that bill may be the poorest choice your family can make (literally). More on this later.
October's Call w/Nikkea. Click here to listen and download.
Success Calls are FREE for all Financial Wisdom with a TWI$T subscribers. Not a subscriber yet? Simply visit the Ultimate Allowance site to signup.

“I rarely use the word amazing, but this class amazed me. You said it would be powerful and it was. I had no idea that fun, finance and freedom could be linked together. You have given me the possibility to rise above the drudgery of bills and taxes to playing and enjoying money. My sincere thank you.” --Daphne

 Has money ever put you in a mood, or two? I am collecting stories from people about the many moods we experience as a result of the money, or lack there of, in our lives. If you'd like to share yours, please send it to me. I am starting my second book (the first one was so much fun to write) and plan to use these stores but all names will be changed. Thanks so much.

Spending YOUR Money, Not Theirs
Many of you may have already noticed that when you offer to buy something for your child, he or she is usually eager to let you do it. Often this eagerness has little to do with how much the child actually wants the thing you’re offering to buy. He is just excited because it’s always fun to get new things, especially when someone else is paying.
However, when it comes to spending THEIR money, it’s a completely different story! If I may, let me tell you how I figured this one out on my own.
Many years ago, when my son Andrew was a teenager, he became so hard to buy gifts for that I got in the habit of just giving him money to buy his own gifts. We’d then schedule a shopping trip so he could buy something he wanted. He usually wanted clothes so we’d end up in a department store or a mall, walking from here to there, comparing prices, talking about whether a particular pair of jeans was worth $40, whether he wanted or needed new underwear . . . You get the picture.
 One afternoon, a couple of days after Christmas, he and I were having this annual exhausting experience and after a few hours I couldn’t take it anymore. He simply couldn’t decide what, if anything, he really wanted. I got frustrated, reached into my wallet, pulled out a nice crisp $100 bill and handed it to him. I said, “Here. Buy whatever you want.”
He took the bill, looked at it, looked at me, put the bill in his pocket and replied nonchalantly, “Let’s go home. I really don’t want anything.”
I was speechless! What had just happened? More importantly, what had I just learned? I realized then and there that it’s easier to spend someone else’s money than it is to spend our own. From that point on, things became much easier financially between my son and I.
Today he is financially self-sufficient, uses credit cards wisely (he has one that awards points and he pays it off every single month), and regularly puts money into his ROTH IRA, which his Dad and I helped seed, of course. I’m proud to say, I practiced what I preach with him, and more importantly, I can say that it works.
NOTE: I didn’t use the type of allowance in my book with my son since it didn’t exist then and I had no idea what I didn’t know back then. He did get an allowance, however, and quite a lot of coaching from us, and I know that helped get him to where he is today. |
