There was a great Far Side clip showing Einstein’s realization that time is actually equal to  money. I wish I could have found it for this class.

I’ve posted a zipped file with all the training material that I produced for this class. The worksheet (.xls file) I did to help the kids understand investing options was particularly instructive. I started the money-management part of the training with a simulated stock trading role play exercise. As I mentioned in the Energy MB, a big upside of scouting is it’s ability to introduce topics to kids at a very early age. They will hopefully always remember the messages in these classes and become just better equipped for life.

This is a time consuming MB and it requires a fair amount of prep, make sure you know what you are getting into when you sign on to run this one. You really need to do this one right, there are very important concepts in here that the kids absolutely need to learn properly.
