A FINANCIAL PLAN FOR THE YOUNG
As your children become familiar with Dream Builder, they’ll discover the genuine satisfaction of knowing how to handle their own finances. With a plan they’ll be less likely to waste time on damaging detours. Along the road to financial freedom they enjoy confidence from being the master of their fate and accomplishing their goals.
How Your Dream Builder Register Works...
The Dream Builder helps your children keep track of their savings and spending. Inside their Dream Builder register they’ll find the following:
“Congratulations on taking the first step to achieving your dreams. Get ready to take charge of your money and your future. It’s exciting to see all the things you can accomplish with some planning and record keeping.
First, sit down in a comfortable spot and dream of all the things you’d like to have or do. Ask yourself, “Am I willing to work and save to achieve my dreams?” Don’t worry if your dream seems like it’s impossible—talk it over with your parents—if you can dream it, you can do it!”
Your Dream Builder only works if you use it daily or every time you earn or spend money. When you do, you’ll see how great it is to achieve your dreams. To get started, you can either work on the Dream Builder Register pages in the back of this book, or print them out. You can also find these pages in a print file on our website at www.accesseducation. org. Once you’re ready, carefully follow the seven steps listed in your Dream Builder.
1. Get out your Dream Savings Account pages and follow the instructions for saving.
2. Your Spending Record will help you track all the money you earn and spend. It also helps you deposit money in Your Dream Savings Account. Look at the sample Spending Record in your Dream Builder to see how to use it.
3. Write on your Spending Record, the amount of savings and spending money that belongs to you now.
“Happy are those who dream dreams and are willing to pay the price to make them come true.”
