Just as Mastercard commercials tell us, some things in life are priceless.  I would add that some of the best things in life also don’t cost a lot of money (hat tip to HuffPost who asked same question of financial experts).  This might be an interesting opening question to help students realize the things that matter the most to us often don’t cost a lot of money.

In case you were wondering…I need more time to think about this.

Tim Ranzetta

Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
