This first in a proposed series explains the impact money currently has on viewers' lives, and/or will have on their future. With interviews from participants ranging from ages eight to 28, the film demonstrates money mistakes made by children and parents, potential hopes involving the acquisition and use of money, and goal-setting that makes for a secure financial environment. Animation, upbeat music, and the repetition of financial concepts such as supply and demand all increase the appeal of the message. The DVD includes a practice swap meet, money tips with in-depth explanations, four major things to do with money, and definitions of financial terms. Solid audio and video quality, and eye-catching graphic design; worthwhile for financial novices of all ages. - Marianne Eimer, SUNY at Fredonia Lib.
