My Project

"How to Turn $100 Into $1 Million," is an engaging kid-friendly text written by the creators of PBS's Biz Kid$ and Bill Nye The Science Guy.

Full of helpful graphics, charts, and checklists, this comprehensive guide explains how to earn, save, and invest your money to achieve your financial dreams.

With a class set of this essential mentor text, our class can learn all the ins and outs of money management including setting goals, building a budget, making smart money decisions like "pay yourself first," and utilizing financial tools like savings accounts, CDs, Roth IRAs, and stock index funds. They will also learn how to start their own business, how to write a resume, and how to prepare for a job interview so they can get (and keep) their first dream job.

With a "Millionaire Mindset," students learn why it's better to save than spend so they can achieve financial freedom, always have an adequate safety net, and utilize their money to help others.
