Howdy Wall Street Willy! I have one really big question for you.
What is finance anyways?
Finance is the world of money – earning, spending, saving and investing it. It’s really cool and large.
Its complicated, so I’ll teach you in little steps.
Is buying a house part of finance?
Yes it is. Great question!
Is a bank account that I have part of finance?
Yes, you are correct – a bank account is part of finance. Very good questions!
Is my piggy bank part of finance? It is so big, it has one Dollar and 21 cents in it! It took me one year to make that much money.
Sadly, it isn’t a part of finance. But you sure do have a lot of money in your piggy bank!
Is the stock market part of finance?
Yes it is – the stock market is part of finance! You are on a roll with good questions!
