The Educator's Guide to Financial Literacy

Our current situation: 86% of high school seniors think that the best long term growth investment is a savings account. (Jump Start 2006) Our proposed solution: Use a simple tax-FREE account called a Wealth ReserveTM to show teens how to invest for long-term growth. This Wealth ReserveTM can provide $160,000 annual income for life with NO income tax. This Wealth ReserveTM can provide real "lifestyle" security. This Wealth ReserveTM can self-insure and self-fund financial needs saving $3,000 every year. This Wealth ReserveTM takes advantage of the miracle of compounding-$250 a month becomes $2,000,000. Start them early! Every year they delay costs them $100,000 later. As an educator, you know that the pace of change has quickened. Older generations went to work in a growing economy that provided a decent living for anyone with 12 to 16 years of general education. Some of them were even given a guaranteed retirement income. They receive Social Security too. They did not need to understand how saving and investing worked long-term. All that has changed. Young adults really need your help NOW.
