Charles R. Schwab: Money
built 646 days ago
Schwab is on a crusade. Schwab people are not just running a brokerage. They pursue virtue. It's a cause that grounds the effort in goodness. It provides a feeling of belonging, a sense of purpose, and a catalyst for action. People will work hard for money, but will give their lives for meaning.

Schwab has ... been an outspoken advocate of increasing the amount of money that can be given tax-free to retirement accounts. With Bush in the White House, he is in a good position to exert his influence on such issues. Schwab personally gave $285,000 to the Republican National Committee last year, and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice recently served on his board of directors.

The site was developed based on Schwab research showing that parents want help educating their kids about money. Coincidentally, the 2007 Schwab Teens & Money Survey shows that teens themselves want to learn. Almost two thirds of teens (65 percent) believe that learning about money management is interesting; more than half (60 percent) say that it's one of their top priorities; and nearly nine in ten (89 percent) say they want to learn how to invest their money to make it grow.
