Radio Guest on Money Wi$e Women



I was honored to be a guest on Money Wi$e Women Radio Show Today! You can listen at the link below and learn how to have a financially fit family!

How to Raise a Financially Fit Family
Financial illiteracy is a problem that affects everyone: men and women, young and old, across all racial and socioeconomic lines. As parents we would be outraged if our children were illiterate and could not read or write so why do we tolerate our children being financially illiterate? Knowing how to make wise financial decisions can have a tremendous impact on our children's their lives in so many ways. There are many reasons why we do not financially educate our children, and this program will address those reasons along with empowering parents with numerous tools to make sure they are preparing their children to be be financially literate and able to make sound financial decisions for a lifetime!

Mrs. International Pageant!

It was an honor to represent Wisconsin at the Mrs. International Pageant for anyone who knows me you know one thing for sure my love of the journey of pageants runs very deep. It has been through the journey of preparing to compete and competing in pageants that has made me the person I am today. Pageants are not easy they take deep committment and dedication to getting to know yourself which include knowing your beliefs, values, dreams and passions in life! My platform and work in life is to increase awarness about the need for greater financial education in our world. I can not sit by generation after generation knowing we as a whole are financially illiterate. All of the ramifications we see which are wide reaching can be changed by educating ourselves financially and passing good money skills down to our children. I am not perfect and I humbly share my mistakes and my families in order to open up the conversation and from there I teach. I spend my time teaching women, families your children and mine good money skills so all of us can have a life where we hopefully can avoid financial mistakes which can take years to repair. My love of my work for my platform continues and it is my prayer that my journey in pageants can also continue. My supporters make this happen and I want to thank each one of you for your passion for financial education and your belief that we can change the facts that exsist and make our world one where everyone is -- Financially Literate!

“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 SavingsFundthrough her organization Saving Smart for Five Generations. Jayne, a graduate from the Wisconsin Women’s Network Policy Institute, is also a personal finance writer published in Forbes.
“Jayne’s passion for promoting financial literacy and her commitment to helping families prepare for their financial future makes her a great fit for her role as SavingsFund National Spokesperson. Because of her notoriety we will be able to reach more people and help them overcome the financial challenges many face today,” states Vince Shorb, CMO of the National Financial Educators Council.
The NFEC developed SavingsFund as part of their social enterprise business model. The service and the financial education material is complimentary for families receiving gifts. SavingsFund was designed to help families start to save money early while providing their children a timely financial education.
