Free financial literacy lessons

As parents, we all want our kids to "get" money.  Not so much HAVE it, but UNDERSTAND it.  Our financial world gets more complex all the time, and we need to teach our kids about this early on.  Junior Achievement offers free online lessons to help you teach your children about money management.  These lessons are in PDF format, so you could print them, and cover a wide range of topics from learning to count change to the true costs of buying a car.  Each lesson is set up by grade level (Elem, Middle School, HS)
