Summary
You wouldn't drive somewhere new without directions — and you can't reach a money goal without a plan. The Biz Kids show how to set financial goals, make a roadmap to reach them, and avoid the pitfalls that knock people off track. A good fit for older elementary students setting savings goals of their own.
