Groton Public Library - Meeting Room (by Lounge)
Come check it out!
This program focuses on “financial literacy” with the foundation being a game called “Cash Flow” designed by Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad. (See http://www.richdad.com/ for more info.)
Having trained with Mr. Kiyoaski, Mike acts as an enthusiastic, well-informed Financial Guide, Host & Facilitator with the ability to communicate additional Real Teen World examples in a friendly & accessible manner.
The class functions around an ongoing & amorphous game of "Cash Flow" - a more realistic version of "Life"-meets-"Monopoly" with a touch of "Risk" - in which the players have a randomly-drawn profession with a specific set of income & expenses, based upon which they make ongoing fiscal decisions in order to get out of the "Rat Race" and achieve their personal goal. Real estate, stock & charity investments & contributions shift with the twists & turns of market and economy....
Parents are indeed welcome to learn along with their children.
A hearty handful of students played "Cash Flow" yesterday morning, with enthusiastic response and glowing reviews:
"Wait...! It's over already? That was waay too short!"
- F.P. After 2 hours of game play.
"That was really pretty fun!"
- M.P. Initially skeptical & reluctant participant.
* Times and length of schedule may shift slightly, but this is the current plan.
