Stories like this just melt your heart;
Wintle wrote this children’s book titled “Mr. Money $heep.” The woman who grew up on a farm near Huron travels the state introducing kids to finances.
While I think it is a very good idea to teach kids about finances at an early age, isn’t it ironic that she calls her book ‘Mr. Money Sheep’ (keep your nose to grind and do as your master tells you, and if you save, save, save, maybe by the time you are 60 or 70 you will own your own home and first new car). I also find it a little disturbing she chose the lowest income school in Sioux Falls to do her presentation. Shouldn’t all kids learn about finances?
It’s hard to teach kids about saving money when they don’t have any money to save.
I think I am going to write a book called ‘Mr. Money Wolf’. It’s about all the corporate welfare recipients in our state that continue to keep wages low, higher education expensive, and worker’s rights in the toilet. Like I said above, it’s impossible to save money when you don’t have any to begin with.
