Artwork by ASP – 10

Betty Boop

 

This was drawn by the artist for her cousin once removed who loves Betty Boop along with a sweet, personal note that’s been removed for this post. The recipient has an assortment of Betty Boop items (a jacket, earrings, purse, etc) but likely doesn’t have this watch. We’ll have to send her one to add to her collection.

Fall is in the Air

Thanks Natalia for another great post!

Yellow is the color I love seeing in clothing this season but unfortunately have recently realized that my yellow sweater is no longer in my collection. (wonder when that happened?) But the goldenrod dress she’s wearing is a definite fashion must have.

By far, this has been my favorite pictures I have ever taken! For two reasons… First, look at the threes and the leaves. It’s starting to look a lot like fall here in Florida… finally!  I love the colors, the air and the beautiful sceneries.  This is why I love this pictures so much!  The second reason I love this pictures is this gorgeous Kling dress I got from Ruche!  Every detail, the quality, the collar, the color, everything about this dress is perfect.  I found this brand thanks to Ruche and now I want everything from them.  I might be looking over another dress from Kling….

Anyways, I feel Christmas is coming soon, my favorite holiday of the year!

Happy fall!

Love,

Natalia

Teen Money Guide – 2

SIFMA infographic

The infographic above applies to the US and I found it in a program I’ve used previously. You see, I happen to teach a class that focuses on Financial Literacy (at least the way I teach it) yet unfortunately this is slated to be the last year it’s offered in its current incarnation.

So where do parents, teens and teachers who want to try to cram valuable instruction into an already crammed curriculum go to get the basic education in handling money that’s missing from most school districts?

One source is H&R Block. Their Dollars and Sense program has valuable resources for all three groups to guide teen acquisition of money management skills.

Local banks and universities are another great source for providing your teen with a financial education due to the obvious absence in many public schools.

What resources are you using to teach your teen about money and contribute to their lifelong financial wellness?

Oprah Winfrey Quote

I like this quote because it’s similar to the idea in this older book called “Think and Grow Rich” that I’m listening to currently.
