From the website: “The Northwestern Mutual Foundation, the charitable arm of Northwestern Mutual, partnered with the National Council on Economic Education (NCEE) in the development of themint.org….

“Launched in 1997, the site provides tools to help parents as well as educators teach children to manage money wisely and develop good financial habits: the building blocks for a secure future. Given the current rate of savings and debt in America, this is a lesson that desperately needs to be learned.”

From the website: “The site has been designed with the specific goal and narrow focus of providing easy-to-use listening activities that can be used on almost any Internet connection. Of course, many more kinds of interactive listening activities, test-question types, and accents are possible, and I look forward to seeing others launching their own sites with these features in mind. In my case, I wanted to give depth, not breadth (rather than snippets of this and that), to my original concept, one reason being the large time commitment just to create one activity. “
