Ottawa Teens Learn Money Management Skills

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 3, 2012) - Debt. Bad credit. Paycheque to paycheque. These words are far too common today, all because of poor financial management. EnRICHed Academy founder and Toronto native, Kevin Cochran, is sharing his money management skills with teens and their parents on Saturday in an attempt to change the financial future of the next generation.

"No one is taking responsibility for teaching our kids about financial literacy and money management," says Cochran, founder of EnRICHed Academy and Regional Director of Dominion Lending Centre. "On the one side you have parents saying that schools aren't doing enough and on the other side, you have schools saying parents aren't doing enough - and right in the middle you have young adults who aren't learning anything!"

Cochran will be speaking to more than 375 teens and parents between both those events on Saturday. Attendees will be taught how to EARN, SAVE AND INVEST their MONEY. Basic skills taken from his EnRICHed Academy course available on DVD.
