Share Your Knowledge

Time value of money is a key concept you learned in probably your first finance class. It's pretty neat though. I remember my professor showing us how you could become a millionaire by investing small amounts of money. I was amazed and thought it would be pretty sweet if I became a millionaire. Well, this summer, at the camp I am working at, I'm going to show the 8th and 9th graders how THEY can become millionaires.

Each counselor has to do a 45 minute presentation on anything of their choice. I figured everyone knows what money is and would like to have a lot of it if they could, so why not explain to them what my professor showed me? I haven't quite figured out all the details of the presentation, but it is a great way for me to share my knowledge of finance with kids who are going into high school. Perhaps it will spark their interest and inspire them to study business. At the very least, hopefully they won't be completely bored. I love learning about new things that will be useful to me in the future, so hopefully they will too.
