It's not too late for you! Start now by saying out loud: "I will be smarter about money decisions.

Project for the day: Get a piggy bank, and start saving.

You're doing great. Get out into the community and ask people for their best money advice. Compile it into a book. Team up with a friend and set up your own business. Try odd jobs, pet-sitting, or catering. Collect a jar of lucky pennies. Use it to cover business expenses. Nurture your money skills.

Impressive! You're headed for success. Read money publications for more in-depth information. Record your best saving and spending ideas in a money journal. Exchange sound money ideas with friends and family. Why not do something with your money skills like raising money for your local children's hospital? How about producing a children's talent show? How much money would it take to make it happen? Make sure to treat yourself now and then. When it comes to money, you are super savvy.
