A great childhood doesn't always occur in every household. Ideally, there are two healthy stable parents driving - guiding - and nurturing a household of children to a life a success - balance - and happiness. But that rarely happens.

What often happens is either both parents are working, one or both is laid off, there are heated debates about money or the lack thereof, or one or neither of the parents grew up in a healthy household to model good parental behaviour - never mind modeling money management. So what chance does a child have living in a single parent household, foster care, or dysfuntional family unit where there is never enough money? Ae there additional resources to support them?



What type of effect do urban programs such as the Boys & Girls Clubs of America , The Fresh Air Fund , Big Brothers Big Sisters   or Urban League really have on urban youth? Did they really impact the lives of celebs such as LeBron James, Denzel Washington, Bill Cosby and Eddie Murphy? According to each of them, these programs do make a difference.



Even my own brother being an only male child in our two working parent household developed self esteem via the Boys & Girls Clubs of America (then Boys Club of America) and eventually went on to receive 3 Ivy League degrees - became a lawyer and VP of a Venture Capital firm in New York City. There are countless others of every ethnic origin and there can be more with your help.



As the United States and world economy continues to transition from an Industrial Society to an Information Society, more teens need preparation on how to save for retirement. The old addage of graduate - find a job and stick with it until you're sixty-five has long past. Higher education has not even been able to kep up with the expedient transition.

However, today's youth are more technology savvy and open to change than their predecessors. That's why we want to see them armed with the right tools to make it regardless of their start in life and you can help. How? Be an Answer-Key Angel!



Sponsor The Answer-Key to Avoid Debt, Build Credit & Retire Rich (for grads, soon to be grads and everyone in between) to a Teen Leadership/Education Department of your local Urban League - Boys & Girls Club of America - Big Brothers Big Sisters of America - YMCA   or Fresh Air Fund.

You Can Be an Answer-Key Angel in 4 easy steps:

1) Contact your local chapter and get the name of the Teen Education Director and postal address.

2) Find out how many teens are in their Teen Education or Leadership Program.

3) Go to Answer-Key.com (or click below) and order the appropriate number of books for your local chapter and have it shipped directly to the Teen Education Director' attention to distribute to teens.

4) Print and save your receipt at checkout. Your gift is tax deductible!

With your help, we hope to see a generation of youth work, live and retire debt-free and wealthy, break the cycle of welfare, and send their own children to college. If you can, please be an annual giver.

The more seeds we sow to help our youth, the faster we can collectively heal and restore our own economy. Afterall, the future is in the hands of our youth. Let's give them the right tools to succeed.

God bless you for making a difference and making this world a better place for us all.
