1. Funny Money

    Funny Money addresses what is a growing problem – young people leaving school unprepared for the day-to-day realities of paying the rent, properly using a credit card, budgeting for the basic necessities or investing for their futures. The Funny Money mission is simple; take all of the confusion out of the complex world of finances and empower today's youth with the knowledge they need to make good financial choices.

    Funny Money is far more than a lecture about money. It uses language and delivery from the entertainment world and combines this with financial lessons about cash flow, debt and long-term savings. The Funny Money program is an innovative and revolutionary way to teach students between the ages of 16-22 three solid financial principles: Budgeting, Managing Debt and Investing, because it uses comedy to engage its audience. The show also relies on multimedia for support and is extremely interactive – cash prizes are offered for participation and the audience response and interaction with the presentation makes it an event rather than a lecture.

    James Cunningham is the program's creator and presenter. He is a well-known Canadian comedian with a deep knowledge of the topic and a riveting delivery. He speaks to students in their own language and personally connects the lesson to their lives in this hour-long presentation. Students consistently describe the show as an outstanding lesson in financial education that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Educators consistently describe it as "entertaining, informative and engaging from start to finish" and "the best assembly we've seen in our teaching careers."

    James has presented Funny Money to several hundred thousand "financially challenged" students on college and university campuses, in high schools and at youth conventions across North America. This multi award-winning presentation is ideal for financial literacy, student leadership, young entrepreneur and teachers' conferences.
