Learn Long-Term Investing with Steady and Zippy — Fun for Kids and Parents Alike!
Welcome!
This blog is a place where parents and beginners can learn about long-term investing and money in a fun, approachable way.
Meet our two main characters: Steady, a responsible little turtle, and Zippy, a curious and energetic bunny.
Steady is learning about money and investing with his family. He puts aside part of his allowance or birthday gifts to invest for his future dreams.
Zippy, on the other hand, isn’t so sure. “Isn’t investing kind of hard?” But as he learns alongside Steady, his curiosity grows — and so does his confidence.
Through their light-hearted conversations, this blog delivers stories that show how learning about investing can actually be fun — even for kids!
Why Kids Should Learn About Investing, Too
Many people think investing is just for adults.
But in fact, kids have the biggest advantage of all: time.
Just like Steady, when children start investing small amounts from their allowance or gifts, they begin to build essential lifelong skills:
- Understanding the power of compounding
- Learning to manage risk
- Letting money work for them
- Developing patience and planning
These are not just money skills — they’re life skills that grow over time.
Inspired by Real-Life Experience
Steady’s journey is based on a true story.
My own son started investing at the age of 12. At first, he didn’t know where to begin.
But over time, he learned step by step. Today, he’s become a thoughtful long-term investor who makes his own decisions.
What he gained wasn’t just financial knowledge — but also:
- The ability to plan for the future
- A sense of responsibility
- Emotional resilience and discipline
In short, investing helped him grow not just financially, but personally, too.
