TimeMAPS for Parents & Grandparents
Do your children and grandchildren understand the importance of education and
responsible money management or do they still think money grows on trees and
sprouts from ATM’s? Well, if yours are clueless, you're not alone. The
majority of parents and grandparents worry their heirs don’t have the
financial and life skills they'll need to be successful.
"74% of parents worry about their children developing
good personal financial skills and
being able to handle their money."

Many parents/grandparents assume their children are taught personal finance and
life skills in school or that they will just naturally
acquire this knowledge. Unfortunately, this is simply not
true.
Only a small percentage of students take a personal finance class
while in school and
gaining this knowledge by “trial and error”
can be financially disastrous.
"Only about 30% of children have had
any formal training in practical money skills
either in school or through another organization
outside the home."

They will be entering a financial world much more complex than the
world you entered. Their financial survival depends on knowledge
and you can provide the knowledge they need. Many students are
already in financial trouble before completing their education due
to the increasing cost of attending college, student loans, credit
card debt and a lack of money skills.
"And with tuitions soaring well above
inflation, average debt has increased by more than
50 percent, leaving a typical college graduate with
$23,600 in student loan debt and more than $2,000 in
credit card debt ..."

The TimeMAPS software is specifically designed to teach young adults
the personal finance and life skills they will need when they enter
this complex financial world. It can help them understand concepts
such as life planning, money basics, career selection, taxes, banking, budgeting,
credit & debt, saving & investing, insurance, automobiles, homeownership
and retirement planning.
"As a Business and Personal Finance teacher
and a parent of two teenagers, I think TimeMAPS addresses
exactly what parents are concerned about and I look
forward to using it."
