Isabella Piggy

     Welcome to the site where you can become a $mart Piggy, too! We used to be regular kids like you until the five of us sat down one day and realized that things just had to change! We spent every cent we got and couldn't even remember what we bought with it! We found out something scary:  Even with the economy being as bad as it is, with people complaining about how badly ADULTS are handling money, schools are NOT teaching money management skills. After a search on the Internet, we found that there weren't a whole lot of money sites for 11 - 17 year olds to find REAL information on what to do with their money.  We researched money, banks, visited a bank and a mint, and interviewed a couple of interesting people.  Voila!  We became $mart Piggies!  You can become one, too!
     This site includes:
 

1.

Ways to earn money and how to find out if you need working papers and where to get them if you do.

2. Ideas for spending in a rational way and working with a budget.
3. Saving money for the future or for a future purchase, or both.
4. Giving money to make a difference.
5. The structure, scope, and services of a bank.  Info on money, too!
