Learn Long-Term Investing with Steady and Zippy – A Fun Journey for Parents and Kids
Welcome! This blog is a fun and educational space where parents and children can learn about long-term investing and financial literacy together.
Meet Steady the thoughtful turtle and Zippy the curious rabbit. Steady is learning about investing with his family, steadily putting aside part of his allowance and gifts to invest for his future dreams. Zippy, on the other hand, feels a bit unsure—“Isn’t investing complicated?” But as he learns alongside Steady, he starts to feel more and more interested…
Through their friendly and relatable stories, this blog shows how investing and learning about money can be fun and rewarding for the whole family.
Empowering Kids with the Power of Investing
Investing isn’t just for adults. In fact, children have a powerful advantage—“time.” Just like Steady, kids can start investing small amounts from their allowance or gifts, and gain valuable lifelong skills such as:
- Understanding the power of compound interest
- Learning to manage and take calculated risks
- Developing a mindset of “making money work for you”
- Building patience and planning skills
Based on Real-Life Experience
The story of Steady is inspired by the real experience of the author’s son, who began investing at the age of 12. He started out knowing nothing about the stock market, but over time, he grew into a confident long-term investor.
Through his journey, he didn’t just learn how to grow money. He also gained the ability to plan, to think long-term, and to take responsibility for his future.
