"Back-to-school shopping offers a lesson; Involve children in purchase decisions, specialists advise" by Associated Press | August 27, 2008
NEW YORK - With a household income of about $90,000 per year, Diamond and her husband, Eric, adopted a strict budget for the family early this year. But instead of indulging her 10-year-old daughter, Emory carried a calculator and together they figured out what they could purchase and still stay within their budget.
Yup, the kids must pay. I know it could be spoiling them (and $90k a year, wow!), but I'm all for spoiling kids now with the hell-hole we are going to turn over to them.
Here is how the globalist masters are preparing to tuck it to you, kids, even as they gouge themselves beyond belief!
It's a significant step, because most children are not likely to get any lessons about handling money in the classroom. Just five states require instruction on the principles of money management for elementary school students, according to the JumpStart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy, an advocacy group. Only 20 states require or are considering mandated instruction on the topic for middle school or high school students.
Financial planner Susan Bruno sees back-to-school shopping as a perfect way to teach children a lesson before the first bell rings. Bruno, a principal at Beacon Wealth Consulting in Rowayton, Conn., said parents can even try to make a game out of the exercise. "It's kind of fun with younger kids to say 'What do you think it's going to cost?' and then talk through it," Bruno said.
Yes, let us make POVERTY a GAME!!!!!!!!
But we got trillions for wars and billions for banks, etc, etc, etc.
To start a dialogue with your children, consider these tips:
1. Discuss the concept of money with even your youngest children. Help them understand that you go to work to provide food, clothing, and their toys.
2. Help children understand the concepts of saving, investing, and donating - not just spending.
3. In an age of ATMs and online purchases, remember that you'll need to explain to young children how those transactions relate to cash. Explain how credit cards work.
4. Use shopping for school supplies, and even regular trips to the grocery store, as opportunities to teach children about budgeting, and understanding wants versus needs.
5. Open a bank account for your children and teach them to save for something they want.
Is that just DOWNRIGHT OFFENSIVE or WHAT?
Yeah, PROPAGANDIZE the KIDS to BELIEVE in the BANKS, and as far as "wants vs. needs" and budgets, you can take Iraq and the WAR LOOTING and SHOVE IT!!!!!

Oh, and AS PROMISED (check out the $$$ amount for the war machine):
"The deal - one of the largest in Pentagon history - is the first of three contracts worth up to $100 billion to replace nearly 600 refueling tankers over 30 years."
But CUT BACK on those "INDULGENCES" for your SCHOOL, kiddies!!!
Next thing you know, they will have you eating off the floor!!!!
GLENVILLE, W.Va. - Advocates of the trayless cafeterias say that if students can't pile on the food, they might consume fewer calories and keep off those unhealthy pounds often gained in college.
Yup, STARVE YOURSELVES, kids!!!
It's too soon to measure cost savings nationwide. But five times more energy and water are consumed in dining halls than any other square foot on college campuses, said Sodexo spokeswoman Monica Zimmer. "So if a college is looking to go 'green,' they need to start looking in the dining facility," Zimmer said.
Ummm, yeah: The MSM and the Meal
Yup, but YOU KIDS gotta CUT BACK!!!
I, for one, am sick of that brainwashed piece of crap global warming being used to shove it up the kids' asses; problem is, they have bit on this turd trap! They ACTUALLY BELIEVE IT despite the RECORD WINTER and COOL SUMMER!!!
PFFFFFFFFTTTT!
