Saving:
It's All in the Mind |

What would you
rather have: $10 right now or $11 tomorrow? If you’re like
most people, you’ll take the ten bucks now. But let me ask
you another question. What would you rather have: $10 in a
year or $11 in a year and day? If you’re like most people,
you’ll take the eleven bucks in 366 days. Why the
difference? Read

from best-selling author James Geary.

Lessons in the Classroom? |

There’s a lot to
learn about handling money, and teaching those concepts at

that help kids learn how to make change to college orientation
classes that provide guidance on using credit wisely,
educators at all levels are providing great money lessons. Let
us know at what level of school you received the best
classroom instruction on financial matters.

In
Conversation with Robert Duvall, CEO of National Council on
Economic Education |
|
|
As CEO of National
Council on Economic Education (NCEE), a non-profit
organization that promotes economic and financial literacy in
schools, Robert Duvall is spokesman for the cause of making
economic and financial education a core component of the
pre-college curriculum.
Duvall will speak at CFP Board's 2006 Annual Meeting on
August, 4, 2006 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. General
admission to the event is free. If you’re in the LA area, we
hope you’ll join CFP Board for Mr. Duvall’s presentation
and all of the other financial planning and education events.

Below is an excerpt from a recent conversation with Duvall:
Sarah Ball Teslik, CFP Board’s CEO: Give me a very
brief summary of NCEE’s mission and the history of how you
got that mission, because I think it’s very interesting.
Robert Duvall: Yes, the NCEE was founded just about 60
years ago by a group of business leaders and educators
associated with the Committee on Economic Development. They
saw the GIs pouring back into the workforce after the second
World War and realized that too many of them didn’t have a
clue about the American economic system they were going to be
working in. So we were founded as a non-profit, non-partisan,
independent organization with the mission of getting basic,
practical economics into the core curriculum of our nation’s
schools. That continues to be our mission.
