“One of the features I like most about SavingsFund is that as the child’s money grows, their knowledge of personal finance topics grows,” states Jayne Black. “Love that it’s for more than college savings and encompasses a home purchase and a focus on financial security.”
Jayne Black is the mother of 6 children and the current Mrs. Wisconsin International 2013. She is active in promoting the financial literacy movement
through her organization Saving Smart for Five Generations.
