Financial literacy is a vital skill necessary for a healthy, powerful life well lived. Just as vaccinations and checkups can prevent certain ailments from overcoming our good health, so financial literacy can help prevent poor spending decisions-which can have devastating consequences.
Assuming children will just know how to manage their money is akin to an ostrich sticking its head in the sand. It has taken action, it feels protected but 95% of it is still exposed to danger.
Learning to read requires the basics to be taught in a simple, interesting and understandable format. So does financial literacy.
Now, more than ever, children need to be taught to understand spending money has consequences...and that these are consequences with which they must live. Once money is spent, it cannot be spent again. There is no escape.
In fact, spending money is only a reflection of the spender's philosophy-his basic understanding of how the economy works.
"This book is meant not only to help you make your children smart about money but also wise."
Kurt Opella, Managing Member, LandMark Financial
“Finance Matters! Exploring Your Assets and Securing Your Futureis a fascinating and delightful introduction to information every child and adult should know. Leann’s effort to explain and simplify the basics about our financial system and how it works is long overdue. ..."

Quotes from Finance Matters! Exploring Your Assets and Securing Your Future
“…There are lots of good reasons to take time to think spending decisions over. Today I’ve shown you one good reason. There are many others.”

…Dad thought a minute and then answered, “Jared, managing financial matters is never a simple yes or no process. Opportunities come up… at the same time a problem comes up… One key factor in growing net worth is to find out what the cost of ownership is before you make a purchase…”

Financial literacy for every person is the goal set for IYR, LLC. Each wage earner has potential to manage life long earnings to build net worth, no matter what the earning bracket. The old saying, 'Give a man a fish...' applies to financial literacy as well. By teaching the principles associated with net worth building, wage earners are offered the knowledge, understanding and wisdom to assess the opportunity cost each spending decision involves. I believe this decision making wisdom will allow for more responsible spending, more responsible personal business contracts and better future outcomes for wage earners.
Sharing the truth about basic economic principles and how they affect our future is my passion. Teaching our children to manage their earnings well is a touchstone in promoting better living standards and healthier lives. While this finance camp occurred in my imagination, the principles described throughout Finance Matters! Exploring Your Assets and Securing Your Future are lasting financial truths.
