HEATH AND DAVID TALK ABOUT THIS WEEK'S NEWS

KIDS AND MONEY: Financial literacy is greatly lacking in today's schools. It is imortant that you teach your children early onabout the importance of savings and investing.

We had a very special national guest on The Family Money Show. We invited Bob Bacarella-Portfolio who is the Manager and Director of the Monetta Young Investor Fund. Bob introduced the Monetta Young Investor Fund Ticker (MYIFX) in 2006. The fund is unique in that it encourages parents to start saving for college, at the same time getting the kids involved in the savings process itself. This is accomplished by an innovating investment approach, along with a financial litaracy component. One other uniqute feature is that the fund allows shareholders to earn free college tuition credits that can be applied at over 230 schools nationwide.

Some of the questions that Heath and David asked Bob during this insighful interview include:
What is the Monetta Young Investor Fund?
What is the investment philosophy of the Fund?
Besides the investment approach, what makes this Fund unique?
Heath and David asked Bob to expand on the financial literacy component.
How can shareholders earn college tuition credits and who can use them?
What is the minimum investment to get started?
Below is a summary of the three unique features of the Fund:
1. Fund Structure is based on history's greatest investors
2. Financial Literacy component
3. Tuition Credits that may be applied at over 230 colleges nationwide.

In the last segment of the show, David and Heath invited Jason Martin with Savings Sidekick.

Savings Sidekick. Savings Sidekick is the only locally owned and operated coupon book that allows your family to save on goods and services. Another great thing about Savings Sidekick is that it allows churches, schools and other organizations to raise money for their cause. 50% of the sale of each book goes back to the fund raiser. ($10.00) The books are sold on consignment and there is no minimum that has to be sold! All unsold books can be returned. The book will be sold in the Central Arkansas market this August. This is something that people want. In today's economy, families are looking for ways to economically entertain their family. For $20.00, this coupon book is the best deal around. If you can't find a book from your local fun-raising organization, you can also pick up The Savings Sidekick Book at your local Whole Foods Market Ten dollars from every sale is donated to Arkansas Children's Hospital.
