Secret Millionaires Club - Cool Lessons on Finance for Kids

 
Plain and simple- equipping children with sound financial knowledge and skills is paramount to their financial success as adults.  Though my children's school does an adequate job of offering solid programming to help teach basic financial skills, such as checkbook balancing, I often seek additional ways to supplement their education in this area.  

I certainly know from experience how important savvy financial skills are and how easy it is make big mistakes when you aren't equipped with the right knowledge. Like any parent, I'd love to give my children the best foundation possible to start with to help ensure they have less financial worries or woes down the road.


The Secret Millionaires Club aims to help kids learn valuable lessons about money management in a fun and relatable way- which this animated series accomplishes brilliantly!

When I first hear this was a cartoon series featuring Warren Buffet, I admit I balked a little wondering if my children would even want to watch the program.  Certainly a financial icon, but not high up on the cartoon scale of attraction for pre-teen boys.  I had little to worry about, they absolutely loved the entire series from the catchy theme song to the well-scripted stories to the life skills contained in each episode.

Featuring the voice of financial sage, Warren Buffet, the series offers tips on making investing fun for kids.  With Warren as their mentor, friends Radley, Elana, Jones and Lisa apply basic business knowledge to everyday adventures and ultimately learn that the best investment they can make is in themselves.

The Hub television series is now available on DVD.  The Secret Millionaires Club Volume One is available March 19, containing 132 minutes of financial fun and savvy.

An excellent choice for use in the classroom or at home.  While you will be offering highly-engaging animated entertainment, your children will be building valuable life skills.  As such, this DVD gets high marks from Comic Book Mom for being a visionary and rewarding selection!
