Summary

In this Secret Millionaires Club episode, a big obstacle forces the club to break a money problem into parts, weigh their options, and solve it step by step — Buffett's kind of patient problem-solving. A ~22-minute animated story that makes a financial-literacy idea easy to drop into a social studies or economics lesson — with investor Warren Buffett as the kids' mentor.
