Article Reviews
I really like the short film! It was a good move putting it at the top of the page before everything else. It's such a dramatic short, that it gives you a sense of urgency about learning to control your money, loans and debt. I enjoyed all the other SALT articles I looked at as well, and in my opinion, this is the most teen friendly site out of all of the ones you gave us.

The first thing that struck me when I saw this article was how small the font was. My eyes hurt from just thinking about reading it! The actual information was very interesting though, and I'm glad I read it. The theme that he is getting at reminds me of the chapter from Rich Dad Poor Dad, called work to learn not to earn. I like how he used his daughters as examples, and also gave examples from his own life. I also like how he had his theme and he stuck to it. There was nothing random that felt out of place, or made your mind wander from the ideas he was trying to put across. Overall, I feel like I got more out of reading this than the articles by Mr Money Mustache.

This site definitely has an appealing look! There are barely any pictures, links, advertisements, or anything else that will distract for the text, which I like. I also enjoyed MMM's style of writing. Straight forward, even blunt in places, but not in a bad way. Even though he writes in a straight forward way, I sometimes found myself struggling to follow what he was talking about. That certainly isn't his fault, though. I think that some of his articles were written for an audience that already had a firm understanding of money and financing. That's not to say that beginners shouldn't read them though! So, aside from a bit of swearing, I really enjoyed his articles.
