8. Maya wrote:: I think that orangekids.com is really cool! One interesting thing I learned is that the first public bank opened in 1401! That means that banks have been improving their technology for over 600 years. I also learned about debit and credit cards. You can use a debit card in most places like the mall and the movies, but it withdraws money straight from your account so the minuet you enter your pin # the money is gone. I think is really cool that a bank would set up a website for kids so they can learn about saving money too.

I have seen a lot on the news lately about the economy and the "credit crunch" this site did a good job of helping me understand more about that.I am going to really think about what I am going to do with the money I earned.

10. Maggie Graves wrote:: I learned that putting your money in saving account is safer then having a piggy bank. I thought that keeping your money at home in a piggy bank was better in this economic crisis because banks are losing money, and banks are even closing. In the long run I also learned there were more than 1 type of a bank account.Lastly I learned that when prices go up it is called inflation. Overall the website was helpful and I will definatley visit it again.
