In Romania, Young Adults Get Personal Finance Savvy from YOUNG MONEY(R) Romania

ORLANDO, Florida, January 14/PRNewswire/ --

- Stylish, Hip Personal Finance Magazine Launched This Month



Romanian young adults will now find on newsstands a hip new magazine
called YOUNG MONEY(R) Romania. Published monthly, this personal finance and
lifestyles magazine is the sister publication to its popular U.S.
counterpart, YOUNG MONEY, covering topics such as credit and debt,
entrepreneurship, investing, money management, and other lifestyle subjects
of interest to young adults.


YOUNG MONEY Romania, published by Junior Achievement's Romanian chapter,
has an initial 30,000 copy circulation available via mail subscriptions and
on newsstands in Romania. It will include some of the same articles from the
U.S. magazine, but the remainder of the 48-page publication is original
content. Junior Achievement received the licensing rights from YOUNG MONEY's
publisher InCharge(R) Education Foundation, Inc., a national non-profit
organization specializing in personal finance education and research.


"In the continually shrinking global village, the problems, concerns and
challenges of young people are universal," according to Becky Stiehl,
President of the InCharge Education Foundation. "We believe that students in
Bucharest and Buffalo face similar challenges when it comes to money
management and the use of credit."


The expansion of InCharge Education Foundation to Romania is the first of
several European initiatives the Foundation plans to initiate in the near
future.


"From the very beginning I was very enthusiastic in supporting this
project," explains Stafania Popp, editor in chief and director of the
Romanian chapter of Junior Achievement. "I expect YOUNG MONEY Romania to be
very successful among Romanian young adults.


"YOUNG MONEY Romania is a very good example of how a functional free
market can teach an important lesson, a lesson which young Romanians really
need. The free market economy is still a challenge for many people here in my
country. The better the new generation will be in making their financial and
personal decisions within the framework of a free market economy, the better
and brighter Romania's future. I strongly believe that we will successfully
contribute to this future."


YOUNG MONEY Romania's premier issue features Andreea Rosca, the young
Editor in chief from "Capital" -- Best Financial Business Romanian-Swiss
Magazine, and author of the Romanian "Fortune List of 300 Richest People in
Romania," as a model of young accomplishment. Andreea began her career eight
years ago as a sales clerk, and has quickly grown to one of the most powerful
women in Romania. Also featured in this publication are young entrepreneurs
and managers Calin Fusu from Neogen, owner of Bestjobs, biggest e-job
business in Romania; Cristi Topescu, manager of Residence Hotel; and Ionut
Chermenschi, TV Kensky show moderator.


An interactive website will complement the publication (

other interactive tools. The U.S. version of YOUNG MONEY is a multimedia
platform for young adults that includes YOUNG MONEY magazine, a bi-monthly
publication focusing on personal finance, with a circulation of about
300,000. For more information on YOUNG MONEY, visit
