We’ve been thinking for a while about how to teach financial concepts to kids without it feeling like a lecture, and that’s the whole idea behind Varsity Junior. Along with this, we also recently allowed the ability to open minor accounts. Also, each video takes a real finance concept and explains it through a story that kids can relate to.

The latest episode is about risk and reward. A farmer loses his entire watermelon crop. His son goes to deliver the last batch of mangoes to an old family friend, a pickle seller who’s been buying from the same family for 24 years. And over some buttermilk and guava, he explains why some risks pay off, and some don’t, using nothing more than his own experience with a chilli pickle that nobody bought.

It’s not an easy concept to explain to kids but Karthik Rangappa has nailed it😉

Worth watching with your kids this weekend.
