“Is it easy to trade? ” This is has to be on the top of trading’s “frequently asked questions”.
My response is provided by my very first guest blogger – a 7-year old little girl. I read about her guest post in a food blog that I follow and was so impressed with her writing, I asked if she could write about any financial matter about her trip.
Here it is. I thought it was very profound.

“What I Know About Finances”
After I guest blogged on Skip To Malou about my trip to California, I was invited to guest blog on High Heeled Traders about the financial angle of the trip. At my young age, what do I know about finances?
FINANCES: All I know is paying bills, paying tuition fees, paying food, and paying bunches of other stuff. Every night, Dad reads his financial book.
STOCKS: All I know is when stocks are up, it’s good and when stocks are low, it’s bad. My dad explained this to me when I was little.
RETIREMENT: All I know is that there is a retirement fund. You put money away and it will earn interest which will be your money when you retire.
BANK: This is where you stash your money and deposit checks. When I go with my mom to the bank, my favorite parts are the friendly tellers and getting lollipops.
Now about the trip, when I went to American Girl Place, three things happened all at once. My eyes widened, my heart pounded fast, and I felt happy all in the name of excitement. I knew I only earned a doll and five other things, but I still felt excited. The earning is the rule in my household. You earn whatever you get.
Some people always think I get whatever I want because I am an only child. But I always say …. You earn whatever you get! THE END.
