Experts agree children should learn about money as soon as they learn to count. The Preschool Money Manager Toolkit features kid-favorite characters, Tessy & Tab, who demonstrate how to Save, Spend and Share using their Moonjar money bank. The toolkit also provides parents with a guide that includes a 7-step program to build early financial skills.

According to the National Association of School Psychologists, learning how to manage money responsibly is one of the most important skills young people need for successful adulthood. By giving young children an early start at using their own money and teaching them to evaluate and decide what to buy, children build a solid base for managing their future finances.

The Preschool Money Manager Toolkit offers parents a 7-step program to teach their preschoolers early financial skills including:

1. Review the “cost of living” and “extras” charts so children begin to understand that items such as a house and toys cost money

2. Determine weekly allowance using the allowance calculator chart

3. Make setting financial goals fun by using the Save, Spend and Share goal posters

4. Make an earnings plan

5. Make pay day a weekly ritual

6. Count and distribute earnings using the Moonjar money bank

7. Celebrate success!

Have you heard? This year, the National Retail Federation anticipates holiday shoppers around the country will spend $474.5 billion. If your credit card statements look like you single-handledly financed the nation’s shopping spree, following are some tips on how to determine if you need help with debt — and how to find a reliable company to help you get out.

Most people can pay off their debt with a household budget and dedication. His steps:

1. Cut out all unnecessary expenses, and instead apply those funds to paying off bills.

2. Pay secured debts (mortgage, car) first. Your mortgage payment should take absolute priority.

3. Then make more than the minimum payment on the highest-interest-rate debt, while making minimum payments on other bills.

4. When that bill is paid, add the payment to the debt with the next-highest rate until it is paid off.

Understanding options

But if your bills are so out of hand that you are missing payments or have to choose among them rather than paying them all, it might be time to seek help. Various companies assist with debt repayment, including debt-resolution firms, debt-consolidation companies and credit-counseling services.

* Debt resolution firms negotiate on the consumer’s behalf with creditors.
* Debt consolidation rolls multiple debts into one loan or into a mortgage.
* Credit counseling provides lower interest rates, with a repayment term of five to 10 years.

Choose a partner that will help, not harm

When consumers are looking for a trustworthy organization to help win the battle against debt, the following seven questions should be asked that will help identify a reputable firm.

1. Compensation: Does the company get any form of consideration or compensation from the creditors themselves?

2. BBB: Is the company a member of the Better Business Bureau?

3. Individualization: Does the company provide actual consultations and provide advice/education to consumers free of charge?

4. Free education: Does the company provide educational material, including budgeting and financial advice, free of charge?

5. Background: What is the background of the company’s management team?

6. History: How long has the company been in business?

7. Success: What are the company’s dropout and success rates?

In the uncertain economic environment of today’s world, a recent Website was launched that offers users an affordable, web-based system to control their spending and get out of debt, aided by the personal assistance of a “Coach.”

Banzai’s co-creator, Morgan Vandagriff, a graduate of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, spent 6 years developing The Banzai Way. Vandagriff’s philosophy is simple, with roots that can be traced to his childhood. “When I was young, I saved my money in glass jars. Each jar was labeled with a purpose—’Candy,’ ‘Comic Books,’ etc. When one jar was empty, I had to decide whether to take money from another jar to buy what I wanted. This simple method was easy to use because my money was all in one place and I could always see how much I had. Being forced to make trade-offs or do without encouraged personal responsibility. Our online system uses the same principle. We’ve created jars for grownups.”

Banzai uses this jars paradigm to focus users’ attention on the spending flexibility they have now and the impact their decisions will have on the future. The system uses jar balances to show users how much they can spend at any time for a given purpose. If spending from one jar exceeds the balance available, users must identify a trade-off they are willing to make elsewhere. This practice helps them achieve their goals while making accommodations for the unpredictability of real life.
