The InvestingForStudents.org Program FOR CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN, FRIENDS AND RELATIVES.

An expansion of the old adage:
"Give a man a fish, he eats for a day; teach a man to fish, he eats for the rest of his life."
is
"Give a child some money, he eats for a day; teach a child to earn money, he eats for the rest of his life.
Teach a child to follow the InvestingForStudents.org Program, he becomes a multimillionaire DRIP investor and eats anything he wants."

Question- What is the finest financial legacy that you can leave to your children and grandchildren?
Answer- Selfreliant financial abundance for the rest of their lives.

That is what the InvestingForStudents.org Program does.

It is not unusual for children and grandchildren to have an 80 to 90+ year longevity. That is a lot of doublings for compound interest to escalate their DRIP portfolios into the 10's of millions to 100's of millions of dollars. That is the financial legacy that you will leave to your children and grandchildren if you get them participating in the InvestingForStudents.org Program now.

An interesting point.Very young children will not understand investing, stocks, etc. But they will understand putting money in a coffee can every day for investment, and putting money in a piggy bank for ice cream, and you don't mix the two monies. Young children like to make a game of putting money in a coffee can. This is a very good habit to foster. Watch that they do not eat the money. Children are impressionable. If you tell them that they will become multimillionaire DRIP investors, they will believe you. If you tell them that they must save money every day in their coffee can and even give them the money, and that they must follow the InvestingForStudents.org Program for the rest of their lives, they will believe you, do it, and become multimillionaire DRIP investors for your efforts. Imagine if your parents and grandparents started you off in this program as a young child, and you participated over the last many years, how much more would you be worth then you are today? Why not start your children and grandchildren off today?

An important point to ponder is that because of age gaps, parents and their children and grandchildren really have very little in common. A mutual hobby of DRIP investing will cross that generation gap and foster closer lifelong relationships. If you are the parent or grandparent who gets your child or grandchild into the InvestingForStudents.org Program and that child subsequently becomes a multimillionaire DRIP investor, you will always be fondly remembered eventually attaining godlike legendary family stature.

A mind boggling feature of you, your children, and your grandchildren participating in the InvestingForStudents.org Program is the children and grandchildren will learn how to save, manage, and invest money. Thus with your demise when you bequeath your large estate to your children they will add it to their portfolio and make it grow. With their demise, they will bequeath their incredibly large estate to your grandchildren who will add it to their portfolios and make it continue to grow. Over time estates of over 100's of millions to billions of dollars will grow. Not bad for putting $1+ into a coffee can every day. The corollary to this is also true. If you bequeath a large amount of money to a child or grandchild who does not know what to do with money it is gone in 6 months to 2 years. One of the great things about the InvestingForStudents.org Program is that it teaches effective money management.

The above discussion applies not only to children and grandchildren, but also to friends, relatives, and neighbors. Anybody that you can introduce to the InvestingForStudents.org Program and who will participate in this program will be indebted to you for the rest of their lives. Approach your child's or grandchild's school and request that they institute the InvestingForStudents.org Program in that school.

An interesting point, the InvestingForStudents.org Program teaches children, under parental control and supervision, to play monopoly with real money.

Sometimes it is possible to kill two birds with one stone. In this case:

Bird one- Build a positive work ethic in your children by impressing upon them that they have to work for their money, there is no free lunch.

Bird two- Have your children strengthen their lifelong hobby/habit of participating in their InvestingForStudents.org Program by extra financing their $1+ a day into their Coffee Can Savings PlanSM.

The Stone- When your children are old enough to do a number of chores around the house such as:

1. Do the dishes.
2. Keep their room neat.
3. Take out the garbage.
4. Clean the house.
5. Mow and rake the lawn.
6. Baby sit.
7. Wash and wax the car.
Etc.

In exchange for keeping up with these chores you give them the $1+ a day for their Coffee Can Savings PlanSM and extra money for their piggy bank. They benefit by developing a positive work ethic, funding their Coffee Can Savings PlanSM, and getting allowance money for their piggy bank. Your life gets a little easier as a multitude of chores get done. Everybody comes out a winner.

An interesting note, one of the biggest errors children can make is they will take $10,000 to $15,000 out of their InvestingForStudents.org Program and buy a car. Over the next 50 years that $10,000 to $15,000 car will represent a loss of $1,173,900 to $1,660,850 at 10%, $2,890,000 to $4,335,000 at 12% and $7,002,300 to $10,503,450 at 14%, a rather steep price to pay for a $10,000 to $15,000 car.

Another critcal point - You do not take money out of this program to fund a college education. The purpose of this money is to sit and grow into multimillion dollar DRIP fortunes.

SUMMARY OF THE InvestingForStudents.org Program FOR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN:

1. The program must be done with a coorperative alliance between the school, the child and parent, grandparent, or legal guardian through custodial DRIP accounts as minors (under age 18) can not invest for themselves.

2. Start the Coffee Can Savings PlanSM immediately.

3 Get the child invested in 1 to 2 DRIPS as soon as possible, then gradually, over several months to several years, grow their 10 to 30 mini mutual fund DRIP portfolio. This will allow children to buy shares of major companies (Coca Cola, Microsoft, Walmart, etc) usually getting in for the cost of one share of stock (in the range of $20-$80), and a one time only $20 commission for registered members of InvestingForStudents.org or a one time only $40 commission for individuals who are not registered members of InvestingForStudents.org. Smart registered members will put that $20 saved into their coffee cans. Once in the DRIP the child can send the company as little as $10 to $50+ commission free and have the dividends reinvested commission free. Access the website www.directinvesting.com or call them toll free 1.800.388.9993 to get into DRIPS or any information about DRIPS.

4. Rememeber the child over time makes the decision which DRIPS to get into. The child makes the decision how much to transfer from the Coffee Can Savings PlanSM to the DRIP account. The child makes the call the parent executes the transaction.

5. If your child's or grandchild's school does not have the InvestingForStudents.org Program in that school, no problem. Just start the program with your child or grandchild, independent of the school, and later suggest to the school that they should consider instituting the InvestingForStudents.org Program in their school.

6. Start the program when the child is as young as possible, an embrio is best. Tell the child often they will become multimillionaire DRIP investors if they follow the InvestingForStudents.org Program for the rest of thier lives. Remember they put the money into the coffee can. They make the investment decisions. They mail the check. They learn how to save and manage money and understand they will become multimillionaire DRIP investors if they lifelong follow the program.
