WEALTH WATCHERS IN THE CLASSROOM

Wealth Watchers is a valuable program for kids. Students learn to save money by recording what they spend and reflecting upon the value of their decision. The program provides consistent practice that will enable students to have enough saving discipline to achieve their personal financial goals.

• “I think it is very practical to record expenses.  If you are aware of how much you are spending, I think you will definitely be more careful on spending money on what you need and not always on what you want."

• The experience of recording expenses was interesting because it helped me understand how important it is to
  spend your money carefully…I have a better idea of how to budget money and keep track of my finances for the future.”
  
  
  
• "Using the Wealth Watchers journals to track expenses was an eye-opening experience for many of my students.  Many
  of them did not realize how “little” expenses can add up over time, and how much they could actually save if they were more aware of how they spent their money.  Using the journals, I believe, made it easier for them to be more mindful of their spending.  It’s a useful tool, which can, and should, become habit-forming!’
