moneysaving for teenagers

Following the brilliant news that moneysaving lessons are to be taught in schools
I was wondering if you had considered starting a moneysaving for teenagers forum? I know that there is already a student one but this seems more aimed at the older students. I think that encouraging the younger generation to be money savvy is one of the most important things we can do for them.

could be a place to discuss best bank accounts, what they do with pocket money/ how much they get/ cheapest CDs etc etc.

  • With two teenagers this sounds a good idea to me! Hope it takes off. Only 2 problems I can think of 1) Getting them to read it in first place and 2) getting them to heed any advice given! But a good idea on the whole.
