Thanks From Spider-Man

Hi Scott,

Here is a pic of my five-year-old, who started the Jam Jars last year and saved up enough to replace his broken Garmin band (he accidentally cut it with scissors at school last week) with a Spider-Man band. He received a double-edged lesson in saving AND in looking after his things.

I read both The Barefoot Investor and The Barefoot Investor for Families a year after becoming a single mum. You revolutionised the way I conceptualise saving and I’ve since gone on to buy a house and build up my Mojo. “Don’t spend more than you earn.” It’s such a simple lesson, yet it’s not a lesson I was ever taught growing up.

Hi Lisa,

What a little champion! This is the reason I came up with the Money Movement — I want this for every Aussie kid. You made my day.

Scott.
