Munny Journey Journal

Friday, December 19, 2008

What are you doing to save for your child's future?

Both of my children have a Savings Account and a 529 in their names. I thought that we were doing enough....that is until I had the opportunity to review Munny Journey. Another thing that we can be doing is educating ourselves along with our children.

"The generous life expectancy of babies born today combined with the magic of compound interest can provide financial security for less than you might think. A dollar a day, saved and invested, over a person's lifetime, can grow to a million dollars by age 65.
This full color, illustrated journal shows you have easy it is to start that journey, and how to stay on course. It contains keepsake pages and a pull out money "growth chart" to record the financial memories of a child's first years. Also included is information on savings accounts, bonds, stocks, mutual funds, and saving for college.

Financial security is the greatest gift you can give a child. This journal is a unique compilation of lasting memories and teachable moments that you can share with the child you love for years to come."

Millions of people in the United States are in financial jeopardy. Were they afforded the opportunity as a child to learn the value of money? Were smart saving and spending habits instilled in them at an early age? Don't set your own child up for failure by never talking to them about money. Munny Journey makes it easy for you to start that dialogue.

    I like that you can store the special money in it. My kids have gotten $2 bills, half dollars, etc. and I don't have a place to store them. This is a great idea!

    This is such a smart idea! It is something every parent should have for each child.

  21. quitecontrary1977 said...

    The trouble with gifting money to your child is the lack of sentimentality in the gift, but this makes memories out of saving money! Brilliant!

  73. Peggy said...

    It is always good to start babies off with a savings account,I like to give an account with their birth weight as a baby gift. If a baby is born and weights 8lbs 110z then I get a book with the date of birth and put in 8 dollars and eleven cents. Makes a wonderful gift.

  74. rosannepm said...

    Most baby books keep track of milestones but this one concentrates on money and savings which sadly in this country has gone by the wayside. This is a great idea
