just a thought..what about a section for kids ?

hi.... listening to martin on the loraine kelly show.... yesturday...and martin you were talking about introducing children to the world of money saving..... teaching them how to hunt out the best deals etc.......

just an idea.. that maybe you could consider... is having a kids corner.. type sections.. maybe for the under 16's - 18's i know you have a student section... but this could be a bit old for the kids

where maybe they could ask questions about homework.... pocket money.... the latest gadget... and are they worth buying etc......get free ring tones..... and free downloads etc......and bank accounts with freebies for their age....

i know most of the above suggestions maybe covered in other sections..... but it would be a section where the kids can go and neally all the topics posted could be of interest and help to them.

i dont know how many kids there are using or looking at the site... note loads i supose..... but even if you get a hand full using the site....its a start in getting them in the right direction about looking after...their money and getting saavy before they hit that big wide world of the shark infested financial sea......of debt........

you never know it could be the new 'street cred' thing....being saavy with their money.......lol...

well they can tell their parents to use their tescos clubcard points in deals at goldsmiths to get their 'bling':p

i think this is a great idea. my little little little sister would love this in a few years. she already goes round the house turning off the lights that are not in use, to save money on the electric. (she even does the ones we are using sometimes)
