April is Financial Literacy for Youth Month and with 40% of American

families spending more than they earn each year, according to the Federal

Reserve, it is more important than ever to teach children smart money habits

at an early age.

site, Prosperity 4 Kids. Lori founded Prosperity4Kids in 2003 with the

jobs they are passionate about, the financial ability to support causes they

care about, and the security to see themselves comfortably into retirement.
