ACROSS MICHIGAN TRY TO SAVE AND
INVEST AND LEARN ABOUT THEIR
MONEY
A 100 YARD DASH FOR THE KIDS
AND A 5K FOR THE ADULTS.
THIS COURSE, AS YOU RUN, YOU'RE
GOING TO LEARN A LOT OF THINGS.
THEY HAVE TIPS AS YOU GO.
FOR INSTANCE, THEY SAY, DUST OFF
THE CROCK POT.
THE AVERAGE AMERICAN WOULD SAY
147 DOLLARS PER MONTH BY EATING
AT HOME INSTEAD OF A RESTAURANT.
I COULD USE THAT TIP IF I KNEW
HOW THO USE AIOC POT.
I DON'T COOK ANYTHING AT ALL.
BUT KELLY IS GREAT IN THE
KITCHEN AND ALSO GREAT AT SAVING
MONEY.
WE DO COOK A LOT AT HOME.
YOU HAVE THE RUN AND
FANTASTIC EVENT TO START YOU
THINKING ABOUT SAVING MONEY BUT
THEN THE LEARNING ADVENTURE
EXTRAVAGAZA.
ABSOLUTELY.
THERE ARE FINANCIAL TIPS ALL
ALONG THE ROUTE.
I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY RUNNERS THAT
YOU'RE ALWAYS LOOKING AROUND AT
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING
FOR 5 KILOMETERS.
SO, NOT THE PARADE ROUTE, BUT
THE RUN ROUTE -- IS LINED WITH
PERSONAL FINANCEIS AND THEY ARE
MEANT TO BE CONTEMPORARIY AND
FUN NOT LIKE YOUR ECONOMICS
COMESSIC.
WHICH I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
ANYWAY.
HERE INSIDE THE TENT, WE
TALKED ABOUT THERE IF YOU
WATCHED EARLIER EDITIONS THIS IS
WHERE KIDS CAN COME AND REALLY
GET THEIR BRAKES MOTIVATED TO
THINK ABOUT SAVING MONEY BECAUSE
NORMALLY THEY ARE JUST SPENDING
ALL OF OURS.
YOU HAVE KIOSKS, THE MAKING
CHOICES WHICH JIMMY DID SO WELL.
JIMMY, SMILE FOR THE CAMERA
AGAIN.
HE HAS THE BEST SMILE EVERY.
AND THIS SECTION, THE KIDS GET
TO START THINKING ABOUT CAREERS.
THEY CAN DRESS UP, THEY CAN GET
IN FRONT OF THE GREEN SCREEN AND
THEN THEY CAN TAKE A PICTURE.
FOR INSTANCE, THIS IS ALYSA,
RIGHT?
ALYSA, SHE WANTS TO BE A
CONSTRUCTION WORKER SO WE TOOK
THAT PICTURE AND TURNED HAD OR
TO A CONSTRUCTION SITE.
AND THEN WE HAVE GEE ANNA WHO
WANTS TO BE A DOCTOR OR GRACE IN
THE BACK CORNER WANTS TO BE A
VETERINARIAN.
SHE TOOK THAT DOG AND IT'S A
VERY QUIET LITTLE DOG.
IT'S A GREAT EVENT.
AND THIS IS FREE FOR THE KIDS.
IT IS.
THE MOBILE LEARNING ADVENTURE IS
PART OF THE GROW UP GREAT
INITIATIVE OF PNC BANK, OUR
SPONSOR FOR THE RUN FOR THE
MONEY AND SO, THE ADVENTURE IS
OPEN TO ANYONE, ESPECIALLY GOOD
FOR KIDS PROBABLY 8 AND UNDER
BUT THIS --
OR ME.
HAVE YOU DONE A GOOD JOB.
I HAVE TO SAY, YOU HAVE DONE
REALLY WELL.
YOU LEARNED A LOT.
I'M PROUD OF YOU.
I PUT THE CUPCAKE IN THE NEED
SECTION.
THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
IF YOU WANT TO COME HERE
TODAY, THE RUN ITSELF IS
BEGINNING AT 9:00 IN THE
MORNING.
SEE THE REGISTRATION PRICES
THERE ON YOUR SCREEN IF YOU WANT
TO REGISTER HERE ON SITE OR IF
YOU WANT TO BRING THE KIDS, DO
THE TENT, HAVE A LOT OF FUN.
LEARNING AND THE BEST PART
LAUREN AND SHAWN IS THE KIDS
HAVE BEEN LEARNING A LOT OF
THINGS AND THEY MIGHT NOT KNOW
IT.
WHICH IS THE BEST WAY TO LEARN
FOR KIDS.
DON'T TELL THEM YOU'RE TEACHING
THEM ANYTHING.
JUST TEACH THEM AND THEN THEY'LL
FIGURE IT OUT LATER.
WHEN THEY DON'T KNOW THEY ARE
LEARNING SOMETHING AND THEY ARE
HAVING FUN, THAT'S THE BEST WAY
MEN PLEAD GUILTY BUT HAVE BEEN
SUSPENDED FROM CURRENT POSITIONS
IN OAKLAND COUNTY.
TIME IS 7:35.
LET'S TALK MONEY THIS SATURDAY.
DO YOU NEED HELP SAVING?
HOW ABOUT MAYBE INVESTING A
LITTLE?
WE HAVE YOU COVERED.
NICK IS LIVE IN BLOOMFIELD HILLS
AT THE RUN FOR MONEY EVENT AND
NICK, THIS IS NOT JUST FOR
ADULTS BUT THE KIDS TOO.
THEY ARE HAVING A LOT OF FUN OUT
THERE.
I THINK THAT IS THE PLAN TOO.
YOU HAVE GOT THIS FANTASTIC
RACE, IT'S A 5K, YOU ALSO HAVE A
100 YARD DASH FOR THE KIDS AND
THEN THIS SECTION ON THIS SIDE
THAT IS ALL ABOUT THE KIDS
BECAUSE AS THE RICHEST MAN IN
THE WORLD, AT FLEET MY MIND,
RICK WANTS TO TALK ABOUT
EDUCATION AS FAR AS FINANCIAL
MEANS GOES STARTS YOUNG AND EVEN
KIDS GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL,
SOMETIMES OR MORE OFTEN THAN NOT
DON'T THINK ABOUT FINANCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY OR FISCAL
RESPONSIBILITY.
I DON'T THINK IT GETS TAUGHT
ANYMORE IN HIGH SCHOOL.
IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
COMMIT TO BE FIT IS TWO THINGS
FOR US.
IT'S COMMIT TO BE FIT HEALTHY
BUT ALSO FINANCIALLY FIT AND SO
WE ARE TRYING TO START EARLY
WITH KIDS AND TRY TO INSTALL
THAT IN THEM.
SO YOU HAVE BEEN HERE NOW FOR
A WHILE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS
NOTION OF THE ADVENTURE AND
MAKING CHOICES?
DO THE KIDS KNOW THEY ARE
LEARNING?
OR DO THEY NOT AND IT'S THE
POINT?
I THINK THAT'S THE POINT.
THEY ARE LEARNING AND HAVING
FUN.
I'M HOPING IT DOESN'T START
SNOWING DURING OUR TELECAST
HERE.
BUT THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS
HERE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY AND
THAT'S THE POINT.
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE
GRANDCHILDREN HERE, PARENTS,
CAREGIVERS, AND I THINK THAT IS
REALLY A FUN THING TO DO ON THE
WEEKEND.
SO THE 5K ITSELF IS NOT JUST
A RACE.
IT'S A RACE WHILE LEARNING AS
WELL.
SOME OF YOU HAVE THESE FUN FACTS
ALONG THE COURSE.
DO YOU WANT TO DROP A COUPLE?
WE HAVE OBVIOUSLY, SEE THESE
BLUE PIGGY BANKS?
WINNERS OF THE 100 YARD DASH GET
TO GIVE ONE OF THOSE AS WELL AND
THE COURSE I UNDERSTAND GOES
THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND IT
IS REALLY A CERTIFIED 5K COURSE.
FOR REAL SERIOUS PEOPLE.
RICK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WE APPRECIATE THAT.
WE HAVE BEEN TALKING TO KELLY
ALL MORNING.
THANK YOU.
AND THE ADORABLE GRACE.
HI, GRACE.
SHE IS A LITTLE TIRED.
THAT'S OKAY.
SO IF YOU WANT TO COME HERE
TODAY, THIS IS THE FIRST-EVER
EVENT IN MICHIGAN LIKE THIS
GOING ON TODAY STARTING AT 9:00.
THE EVENTS KICKS OFF AT 9:00 AND
REGISTRATION IS 25 DOLLARS FOR
THE 9:30 A.M. 5K RUN/WALK.
THE KIDS CAN DO THE DASH FOR 10
DOLLARS.
THAT'S REALLY COOL.
