The New York Times has an interesting article on their website about how young children are learning the value of money in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The program is called Camp Millionaire- an opportunity for young kids to learn just how imporant money is in their lives. This really got me thinking about my own situation. As a recent graduate, I feel I was not truly prepared to enter the 'real world.' I along with many of my peers were inder the impression we would just land a job right out of college. However, this idea has quickly vanished and we are now left with doubt. Not only that, but we are all broke or close to it. A program such as Camp Millionaire is a smart idea- teaching kids about money is something that should be done early on so that when they grow up, they have been made aware of just how valuable it is and how fortunate they are to have it. A program like this would be very beneficial to adults as well: it is never too late to learn to appreciate the value of a dollar.
