Diane Crossan of Retirement Commission believes that games and activities is how kids can learn vital financial skills that will help them through life. Games make financial learning fun and according to Mrs. Crossan "Research indicators show that the earlier a child learns about financial concepts, the more likely they are to manage their money effectively as an adult."

Monetta Young Investor Fund helps kids learn basic financial skills through a combination of age-based investment kits, newsletters and on-line games where kids earn prizes.

Additionally, Monetta offers investors four economically based short-stories, a 24-chapter investment tutorial and a web based financial resource center that teaches basic social study skills based on Illinois Standards.
