It has been a crazy, hectic September and October at NGPF which explains my delay in getting my Top 10 Blog posts or September out…so without further ado:

1. Question of the Day: How Much Does the Average College Meal Plan Cost?
2. Video Resource: Why are Teenagers So Brand Conscious?
3. Activity Idea: How To Make Credit Scores Engaging?
4. Product Release: NGPF Assessment Bank
5. Next Gen Has A Project Bank!
6. WebQuest: What’s New With Cell Phone Plans?
7. Current Events: What’s Happening On October 1st with Credit and Debit Cards?
8. Video Resource: What Can High School Students Teach Us About Budgeting?
9. New NGPF Units: Taxes and Insurance
10. Challenge Your Seniors With this College Budgeting Activity

So, what is striking about this list?

Both the diverse content types (questions of the day, video resources, activity ideas, press releases, webquest and current events) and the variety of topics that are garnering the most eyeballs (budgeting, credit scores, assessments, cell phones, credit/debit cards, taxes, insurance). It is both gratifying and humbling to see our blog readership continue to climb month after month which explains why I blog at times like this (11:47pm on Friday night at JFK waiting for my flight).  Happy Columbus Day weekend!

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.
