Kids are sure to have financial ups and downs in their lives, and what better way to learn money management than to begin a simple savings plan! Saving when times are good means money to spend when a “rainy day” comes along. Contributing a small amount regularly to a piggy bank or savings account is one secret to financial success and helps to develop financial literacy at an early age. Nothing is as powerful as a hands-on experience when it comes to learning about money. This issue will help you launch a financial conversation with your child so that authentic learning takes place. Locate a jar or piggy bank to begin at home, then transfer savings to an account at the bank, and watch your “rainy day” fund grow and grow!
