Dear Molly,
I just want to say a BIG THANK YOU! I am so excited to be able
to teach my kids about money and I am excited that they in turn
will have financial freedom. The workbook is awesome! I
want to share this with the world. As I'm sure you are feeling
the same way. I hope you have continued success with this
business. I am spreading the word. Good Luck and thank you for
changing my thoughts on money!

Dear Molly,
I really enjoyed listening to your presentation; I think you
did a fabulous
job! Thank you for giving me the tools to teach my children
about financial
responsibility, something I lacked as a child. It's a joy to
watch them
learn about earning as they use their chore charts and save for
the special
things on their wish lists. Your products would be a valuable
addition to
any household with kids. Thanks again,

After looking
through many lists of books related to investing & children, I
came upon Money Mama & The Three Little Pigs. I had to go no
further in my search: a book that was not only fun for kids,
with wonderful illustrations, but it taught the areas that I
think are so important for kids to learn at an early age:
giving, saving & investing. All three are equally important and
so few books for children stress all three. I HIGHLY recommend
this book.

What impressed you most about the book?
The whole concept is wonderful! The author has taken a much -
needed lesson about money and put it into an easy-to-read story
for children. It's genius! The author uses kid-friendly language
and makes the book easy to understand while teaching
life-changing concepts. I wish I'd had this book when my
children were first born. Also, creating a piggybank and other
products to go along with her book, is a very smart move. I see
much success in this little book's future. From start to finish,
the book is well done. I love the little piece if money that is
on most every page. He is so cute!

Dear Lori,
Actually, the materials are awesome. We are not the parents but
the grandparents. We ordered a set for each of our two
grandchildren who will be two in June, plus the book for the
parents.
We decided before we began to get grandchildren that we would
not be the grandparents they would remember for things but time
and lessons. So...on their first birthdays we opened 529 plans
for each and contribute monthly to their college savings.
(Since we are the parents of 6 adult children between us, we had
to decide on an amount that we could afford during retirement
for all our grandchildren even if we end up with 12 or 15.) Then
when gifting occasions come around we gift lightly or try to
make it a practical gift.
I believe that if our children use these tools to teach their
children that their own financial situations will improve.
I am an associate financial advisor with the top financial
planning firm, have worked in this field for 17 years and have
never found a better tool for young parents than your "Money
Mama" system. In fact, we ordered another book and parent's
guide for one of our clients this past week.
I appreciate the work you are doing toward educating our young
people.

"I never imagined that my seven-year-old could be so
knowledgeable about the financial concepts that have taken me
years to understand. We were already routinely giving to
charity, but when we got the Money Mama Piggy Bank, we became
more systematic about putting away money for investing, savings
and spending. I can't tell you how much I appreciate having an
easy way to work with him on one of the most important lessons
in the world."

"It is easier to raise a child that feels entitled to everything
than to teach him that money is really just a tool to live well
and help make the world a better place. With our seven year old,
it amazed us how early "the gimmies" started and how difficult
it is to consistently and positively reinforce the value and
benefits of money. Now that we have been using the Money Mama
Piggy Bank for nearly a year, we are even more amazed at the
changes in our son's attitude and the level of responsibility.
He shows in making decisions about what he buys, how he saves
and invests money, and how much he enjoys giving to Heal The Bay
and the SurfRider Foundation. The Money Mama has been an
invaluable tool for us because it gives us an easy structure for
financial teaching that is also fun for our son. It doesn't get
any better than finding something that makes learning life
lessons natural and enjoyable."

"It's never too early to begin teaching children how to save,
invest, and give to their community -- and Ms. Mackey's Money
Mama & the Three Little Pigs presents these concepts using
simple, fun storytelling. Combining a piggy bank with the story
is a brilliant hands-on educational tool that allows children to
experience immediate results from the lessons they have
learned."

"Money Mama & The Three Little Pigs is a great book for
children. It is an excellent way to teach them what they should
do with their money. Money Mama teaches children in a fun way to
give to charity, invest, save and spend some money on things
that they really want. Everyone should use some of Money Mama's
magic and make the world a much nicer place to live in"
Stephan Avena
President Save For America
"Teaching children about money is so important because they are
influencing family spending more than ever before. Money Mama &
The Three Little Pigs, importantly, puts emphasis on spending
wisely which is so vital for young people to learn. Everyday
spending decisions especially credit-based ones will do far more
harm to one's financial future than any investment decision. By
teaching the little ones early how to become wise spenders, they
will be able to hang on to more of their earnings."
