Teenagers Are Better Financial Planners Than Their Parents

Teenagers Are Better Financial Planners Than Their Parents Teenagers of today are far more aware of the expenses for higher education and are taking necessary steps to avoid getting into debts.

Children as young as 11 years have started saving towards higher education as they have been witness to older members reeling under the load of university debts.

They sold all their mortgage debt, all their creditcard debt, they rob half the country every two weeks skimming off the transfer of hard-earned cash into worthless 401ks, they failed to get their hands on all that social security money, and now the "wealth planners" are trolling for teenagers.

Spend it now kids. Spend it all.

That site is an SEO spam portal (just look at the sitemap) and the poster's comment history is so weak I actually noticed their second comment and thought, "That's hinkey, better keep an eye out."

The linked article is a regurgitated press release from a trust fund company. I found it on PRNewswire. But the article has no citation, no link. It was probably automatically scraped and munged.
