Hello I'm Benjamin Bankes. Welcome to my world of money. Money shouldn't drive your future. But neither should debt. It's time for you to take control. Get what you deserve. Not just today. Your whole life. Just remember: small changes add up. Take steps to start saving today and you’ll build a solid financial future tomorrow. Feed the Pig for Tweens The AICPA and the Advertising Council have launched Feed the Pig for Tweens, a new financial literacy curriculum for fourth to sixth graders.  Feed the pig for Tweens (www.feedthepig.org/tweens) was developed by JMH Education with input from its Teacher Advisory Board and in cooperation with the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.  The curriculum introduces nine to 11 year old students to responsible financial decision making.  Teachers may order printed copies or download the curriculum free of charge at the Feed the Pig for Tweens website.   You can now find Benji on MySpace and FaceBook at: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Benjamin-Bankes/32841644359?ref=mf http://www.myspace.com/benjaminbankes
