Alumni 15 Children’s Financial Literacy Program
Pass on your financial education to your children!
Here at Live Out Loud, we wouldn’t be true to our education if we didn’t encourage you to teach your kids the value of money, and the importance and steps to building a financial plan – at any age!
Alert!
Only fifty-nine percent of the young adults in Generation Y (ages eighteen to twenty-none) pay their bills on time every month. (2008 Financial Literacy Survey National Foundation for Credit Counseling, Inc. and MSN Money)
Not only do we offer products to help you set these strategies in motion, but Alumni allows us to bring our most distinguished Community members – THAT’S YOU – the greatest Program we’ve probably ever implemented.
It's all about the kids and their future!
A Program designed entirely around giving YOUR Children the tools to live a life free from money worries. (Wouldn’t you have liked to learn what you know now YEARS ago?)

Almost fifty percent of those who closely monitor their finances say that they learned about personal finance from their parents or at home more frequently. (2008 Financial Literacy Survey National Foundation for Credit Counseling, Inc. and MSN Money)
This program is the first of its kind in the country!
Together, we're teaching children the financial skills and concepts that will serve them for the rest of their lives. How can you justify passing up this opportunity to give your child a distinct advantage in an uncertain future?
The Children’s Financial Literacy Program will take place on Day 2 and Day 3 of this year’s Alumni event. During these two days, your children will have the opportunity to start implementing a plan to improve their financial literacy with exciting games and activities!
Our Game Based Program Makes Learning Fun!
Based on the Thrive Time Game as well as the “It’s My Time to Thrive” Financial Literacy Program, the kids program will help teach a variety of important lessons such as understanding income and expenses, how to create new sources of income, how to read and manage financial statements and the difference between good and bad debt. Developed by Pay Your Family First- a company founded by Sharon Lechter, this program is designed to empower your children to make sound financial decisions and create their own financial success.

The majority of college students say they pick up most of their personal financial education from their parents, but less than half of students said their parents make a consistent conscientious effort to teach them. About seventy percent of college students say their parents are their main source of information. (The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.)
In addition to basics on personal finances, "It’s My Time to Thrive" covers topics relevant to older children and teens, such as tips on car buying, ways to pay for college and creating the ability to live on their own.
Some Key Objectives:
- Understanding the financial impact of buying a car
- Identifying effective financing strategies for college
- Identifying ways to manage money
- Practicing presentation skills (BE FAB)
- Understanding how to use credit cards wisely
- Experiencing the importance of giving
- Creating additional sources to generate income
So, what are you waiting for?
It’s time for a little self-accounting and to ask yourself if you are living according to the priorities you declared at the Big Table. I’ve met few parents that didn’t list their child’s future at the top of their list of motivations.
Plain and simple, there is a serious lack of education for kids when it comes to managing and creating money.
It’s time to close this gap for our children. Start actively Educating and including your kids in conversations about Money by signing them up for our Alumni Kids Program.
Reserve a spot for your kid(s) TODAY!
Ensure they are prepared to deal with ALL financial challenges they may face in their life.
