Brett S. Ellen, CFP(R), Announces Coach Brett Blog
CALABASAS, Calif., April 1, 2009 — Brett S. Ellen, CFP(R), president and founder of American Financial Network, has announced the debut of his kids’ financial blog – http://www.kidsfinancecoach.com. As a financial advisor, Ellen believes that it is never too early to start learning about the value of a dollar and how to spend that dollar wisely. While teaching lessons in finance at an area school, Ellen discovered that the children’s minds are like sponges. “They hear about finance issues on the news and are far more aware of some of the topics than we, as adults, think they are,” observed Ellen. His objective with the blog is to give kids a fun way to learn material to which they might not otherwise have access, and to help them become financially literate.
“I’ve met a lot of people who are unfamiliar with some of the basics of money and finance,” said Ellen. “I’ve made it a point to see that my children are provided with the information and education they need to be fiscally responsible and successful as adults. This blog is my way of helping all kids to have that advantage.”
