Follow them as they learn about how to invest their money to make even more money!In this comic book, your child will learn about how to make their money work hard. Marty and Nutty have amassed $100 from their business, and they are confronted with a few options. Should they leave the money in cash in their piggy bank, should they give to charity, or should they invest their money in assets?First of all, Marty and Nutty understand that an asset is something you buy that puts money in your pocket. Then the squirrels discover that some assets put more money in their pocket than others.Your child will discover how Marty and Nutty chose among the various assets available for sale in their neck of the woods. They had to consider buying shares in private companies, in public companies, lending money to the bank, and even lending to businesses.Isn't it amazing that we spend our whole life making money, but that we aren't taught what money is, how money works, how to invest, how to save, how to spend and how to give? During the formative years of a child's development financial education is for some reason either left out of the curriculum, or only mentioned briefly in passing, Let's change that! Let's put financial education at the heart of our children's education. For a child with a good level of financial education will avoid making bad decisions when it comes to money. That child will be able to be a better member of society and enjoy a life of financial independence rather than a life of worry. That child will be able to give the surplus cash amassed back to society through charitable donations and endowments and through investments in businesses. That child will also be able to teach the next generation, your grandchildren, about how money works and endow them with the greatest secret of all: a financial intelligence that leads to the freedom to live one's life on one's own terms.Note to children-------------------My Dear Friends,This is Arthur writing to you. Marty and Nutty would like to write, but they are too busy counting the profits they have made from their latest business. Marty and Nutty haven’t yet learnt how to use a computer, which could help them to count their money.I met Marty and Nutty in the forest near where I live. They told me about how they had learnt to invest the money they had made with their Nut Paste business. They asked me to write their story for you, and that is what I have done, with the help of my Dad. They never learnt much about money at Squirrel School, and they never explain how to make money on television. So Marty and Nutty learnt about how to invest their money by talking to friends who had done it themselves.Before starting their Nut Paste company, Marty and Nutty were quite scared, because they didn't know anything about business. They thought that business was not for them and that they were no good at making money. They were wrong.They discovered that it is actually quite easy to make money in business. You just need to know the rules, and those rules can be learnt easily from books like this one, or from people who already know how to make money. Everybody spends their days making money, but, for some reason, few people understand how money works.Making money is fun, and even children like you and I can start a business and invest. These last months I have made money by selling pumpkins for Halloween, and by collecting and recycling Christmas trees. It was great fun and I think you might like it too. I know the squirrels enjoyed themselves a lot. I hope you like this story about how Marty and Nutty learned how to invest their money.Arthur
