Financial Building Blocks

The online game and family exhibit at INNOVENTIONS at EpcotŽ help provide children the basic information they'll need for a life of smart financial living. The four primary lessons we chose to focus on are considered most critical to developing a solid financial foundation.

Following are short descriptions of how we bring the financial concepts to life for kids and families.

Set goals

Setting a financial goal is the first and most important step to financial planning. Financial goals can take anywhere from a few months to more than 20 years to accomplish! Saving to buy a new music CD or a car, and saving for retirement are all examples of financial goals.

Save

When you're pursuing a financial goal, saving money and spending wisely go hand-in-hand toward achieving your goal. Opening a savings account is one of the best ways to start saving your hard-earned cash. To spend wisely, be thoughtful about what you really want to spend your money on.

Remember inflation

Back when your great grandparents were your age, two dollars could buy a movie ticket. Today, that same movie ticket can cost over $10! You can thank inflation for the increase in price. Inflation lessens the buying power of money over time. Good planners make investments so their money gives them the potential growth they need to try to beat inflation.

Diversify

If you invested all your savings into stocks from your favorite hamburger place, what would happen if that hamburger place went out of business? You would lose all your money. On the other hand, if you only invested 10% of your savings into the hamburger place—and you also invested in stocks from a computer company, a soft drink company, and a toy company—you have diversified your investments. Through diversification, you can reduce your risk so that if one of your investments does poorly, the others may be doing well and keep your overall portfolio on course. Remember: diversification cannot assume a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.
