I can’t take credit for this one…I came across this news release announcing winners in the Money Minute Video Challenge. The premise of the contest was to have financial experts create a one minute video about money with the criteria being: most creative video, most creative tip and most impactful advice.  The prize: $1,000.

Here were a few videos that can get your students’ creative juices flowing:

• Don’t Touch Your Savings: Building a Rainy Day Fund

• Stay a Month Ahead of Your Bills

• Make More Than The Minimum Payment

Tim Ranzetta

Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
