Kids are all so different, I guess they truly are a product of their environment.
Over the holidays we were visiting extended family, and dollars were given out to the young children. All of the kids were so excited, they couldn’t wait to go to the Dollar Store, Target or the toy store to spend their money.
Then our little guy says, “We’ve got to put my dollars in the bank.”
On one hand I was thinking he should be able to go buy what he likes with his money, but on the other I realized it was Christmas and he had just gotten so MANY toys, so his thinking was right on target. Save these few dollars, put them with his other few dollars in a safe and secure place, drawing interest and accumulating for a future need that would be larger and much more important. He knew that’s what we try to do with our money, save. So I was very excited that at age four, the lesson of saving for the future might be taking root!
Like I’ve said so many times before, you can never start saving too early. There are many financial institutions out there that can help you start saving – but the one that I trust is Truliant Federal Credit Union. Check them out today!
