What drives us
Minor Money Matters was created to teach kids about wealth. We believe that educating children from as young as age 7 about the principles of money and contribution, and how to apply them, will shape the financial literacy and collective wealth of the next generation, and well into the future. Minor Money Matters’ programs place great emphasis on the responsibilities that come with wealth – for example to the environment and the less fortunate.
Our People
Sherree Price
Sherree Price is the founder of Minor Money Matters. Her background is in Vocational Education and Training. She undertook her own voluntary education in financial literacy in her mid thirties. The book that she started with, and that had such a profound effect on her, was Robert Kiyosaki’s “The Cashflow Quadrant”. She read many more of Robert’s books, and played his Cashflow Board Games, and became increasingly inspired to impart this knowledge onto young children. She wondered what her life would have been like had she learned this information early on at school. With her husband Mike, Sherree is working on making the Minor Money Matters vision a reality.
Wendy Fletcher
Wendy Fletcher attended Griffith University as a mature age student. She completed her Bachelor of Education (Hons) at the end of 1999, and graduated at the ripe old age of 40. She was fortunate enough to be offered full time, permanent employment at Arundel State School where she has been for more than eight years. Over this time she has taught years 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7. She loves every minute of teaching and is as passionate about education now as she was when she first started teaching.
