‘Mindblown Life’ iOS Game Aims to Teach Teens Financial Skills
can a mobile game make money management more relevant to youth before they dig themselves too deep a hole? That’s what Mindblown Labs, the startup behind the in-development game Mindblown Life, thinks.
The iOS game will have players navigate a series of life-simulating tasks and adventures while interacting with other friends in the game. Balancing work and personal lives while trying not to go virtually bankrupt is meant to teach kids applicable skills such as the financial cost of a bad relationship or the effect of two fancy Starbucks drinks each day on future retirement funds.

Family and Money - fight over money (Video)
The story of money woes in a typical Chinese family.
This 10-minute movie on money shares with you the need for all of us to know the importance of how our family background affect the way we see and utilize money in our daily lives. Believe or not, the set of belief systems we grew up with, our life values, our expectations of people and life, and our family, relatives, friends and colleagues, all directly affect our concept of money.
Often, family communication is the biggest stumbling block. Ineffective communication – the spoken & unspoken words about money – often creates many misunderstandings, which you will see in this short movie. How can we then effectively deal with the money issues confronting us with our family on a daily basis? This is what the movie is about.

Teen Cash Class

Teen Cash Class
In July 2007, the ITV1 Tonight programme gave me a challenge: take a class of ordinary teenagers for one day and turn them into junior Money Saving Experts.
It was a scary concept, and like nothing I’d tried before. Yet the results were astonishing: after class, the 12 pupils went home and saved their families a whopping £5,050!
This Teen Cash Class guide has been written using transcripts from those six hours’ filming and, hopefully, will allow anyone – teen and adult – to learn the same fundamentals and become true MoneySavers.
