Have you ever wondered what you (do) if you had a million dollars? What about $100 milliion? It would be almost impossible to spend that amount unless you (buy) big houses, expensive cars and jewelllery for yourself, your family and your friends. That's exactly what Boston Celtics basketball player Antoine Walker did - and in 2009, he discovered that he owed millions of dollars to the bank. This (not happen) if he had known something about money management.

But how do young people learn about money management? Some educators believe that it should be taught at school. "Unless their parents are very knowledgeable about money issues, teens (not get) the best advice from them," says one teacher. Moneythink is one solution. This programme was started in 2009 by Greg Nance, a university student. He and other volunteers give money management lessons to local students. If Nance's dream (come) true, Moneythink will become a nationwide programme by 2020.

One reason for Moneythink's success is that the volunteer-teachers use real-life examples. Greg thinks that if he hadn't used Antoine Walker's story, it (be) much more difficult to catch the students' interest.
