Why Substitute Cash for Candy?
Cash for Candy Toss
After the Cash for Candy campaign, you can participate in a viral campaign – the Cash for Candy Toss. This is where you get to throw away all that junk food.
Financial Security and Health are Directly Related
The National Financial Educators Council is concerned about the health of our nation’s youth – and their health directly relates to their overall financial well-being. Healthier people, on average:
Enjoy Lower Expenses
Although food costs associated with a healthy diet are higher, the overall reduction of medical and long-term costs far outweigh the additional investment.
Earn a Higher Income
Healthy people are more productive (take fewer sick days, have improved focus, etc.).8
Receive More Benefits
Unhealthy people die younger and miss out on social security benefits, pensions, and other investment returns.8
