Who Wants To Be A (Secret) Millionaire?

I've always had a complaint that the schools teach kids how to make money, but don't teach them how to save it, invest it, how to be wary in the world of credit, and generally how to keep it.

Now Warren Buffett is doing it for us!

Thanks to a fantastic Web site called homefires.com, which offers daily tips for homeschoolers, I've been hepped to the Secret Millionaires Club, a site for grades three to six to learn about money, hosted (in cartoon form) by none other than America's most beloved billionaire.

In four minute segments, Mr. Buffett teaches kids about everything from building a reputation in the business world based on honesty, to being open-minded, listening to your customers, and pursuing your dreams. The lessons are backed up by games, a blog, and even a chance to "Ask Warren" questions.

There's also a "Learn & Earn" section with grade-appropriate activities for teachers to hand out to kids. (In my world, teacher = mom!)

I am so impressed with the Secret Millionaires Club (even if it did leave out the possessive apostrophe after the "s") that I would highly recommend it for everyone with kids eight to fourteen, homeschooling or not. 

In fact, adults could learn a thing or two as well.

Stay tuned.
