By Elroy Mariano 6 months ago

If you don’t teach your kids how to manage money, somebody else will. And that’s not a risk you want to take! We’ll show you how to give your kids the head start you wish you had and set them up to win with money at any age.


How to Teach Pre-Schoolers and Kindergartners About Money


1. Use a clear jar to save.


The piggy bank is a great idea, but it doesn’t give kids a visual. When you use a clear jar, they see the money growing. Yesterday, they had a dollar bill and five dimes. Today, they have a dollar bill, five dimes, and a quarter! Talk through this with them and make a big deal about it growing!


2. Set an example.

59 Legit Ways to Get Free Money (From Companies, Governments & Websites)

By Elroy Mariano 6 months ago

, but usually you have to work for it.

And while they say there is no such thing as free lunch, there is such a thing as free money!

You can indeed get free money.

There are actually a few ways…

But one of the easiest ways is taking advantage of bonuses and promotional offers that many companies offer.

Think bonus for opening a new savings/checking account, bonus for applying for a new credit card, etc.

In 2015, companies spent nearly $600 billion worldwide in advertising, with a big portion of it going to giving new customers bonuses for signing up.

This is basically free money for you.

Now, getting a small $5 bonus from a company doesn’t sound like much, but combine that with the money being given by more companies and you’ve got yourself hundreds and even thousands of dollars.

5 Ways To Build Your Personal Brand At Work

By Elroy Mariano 6 months ago

The idea of being a “quiet leader” has always appealed to me. I was never a fan of colleagues who seemed to brag or self-promote at work. However, early on in my career, my manager told me that if no one else in the company actually knows about my work accomplishments, those accomplishments won’t really count for much.

Hearing this was a bit of a rude awakening for me. Up until that point, I’d always presumed that my work would speak for itself. I assumed that if I worked hard, the quality and impact would be obvious.

However, as someone who spent the majority of my career working in brand marketing, I quickly discovered the power and necessity of positive PR on the growth and positive trajectory of products and brands. So it didn’t take long for me to realize that my own internal PR within an organization would have

5 ways technology is transforming finance

New report: The Future of FinTech: A Paradigm Shift in Small Business Finance

For decades, banks and insurers have employed the same relatively static, highly profitable business models. But today they find themselves confronted on all sides by innovators seeking to disrupt their businesses. Crowdfunding, peer-to-peer lenders, mobile payments, bitcoin, robo-advisers – there seems to be no end to the diversity, or to the sky-high valuations, of these “fintech” innovators.

Yet, some might note that they have heard this tune before. The direct banks and “digi-cash” of the 90s captured the imagination of journalists and investors in a similar fashion, but ultimately had little impact. In fact, the financial services industry has been remarkably impervious to past assaults by innovators, partially due to the importance that scale, trust and regulatory know-how have traditionally played in this space.

However, as they say in investing, “past performance is not an indicator of

6 Ways To Start Investing With Little Money

By Elroy Mariano 6 months ago

For many people, the word “investing” conjures up images of men in suits, monitoring the exchange of millions of dollars on a stock ticker.

I’m here to tell you: You don’t need to be the Wolf of Wall Street to start investing. It’s okay if you’re more of a mouse of Main Street. Even if you only have a few dollars to spare, your money will grow with compound interest.

The key to building wealth is developing good habits—like regularly putting money away every month. Swap out the barista-made cappuccinos for coffee at home and you could already be saving more than $50 a month.

Once you have a little money to play with, you can start to invest.
