I have done a lot to help my children learn about how money works, to manage money, spend it and invest it. I even bought an interesting board game that teaches you about managing money. I recently purchased 2 copies of an interesting book: for Children 'how to become’ Rich, successful & do well in school.

What I wonder about is the girl wearing the big ring on her finger. Easily over $1000. This is a high school junior. Sort of ironic to have a high school girl wearing a massive ring in an article about saving money and being thrifty.
