Monkey See, Monkey Do:
Teach Them to be Wild About Saving
We’d be “lion” if we said saving was easy. Teach children how
to save for their goals and they’ll have one of the most difficult
aspects of finance under their belt by the time they’re teens—
being consistent savers.
Here are a few ideas to help your cubs get Wild About Saving:
• Have young children—preschool age—sort different types of
money into piles by color and size.
• Play store or credit union/bank. Help them use a pretend cash
register.
• At the grocery store, let children of all ages help you shop.
Teach them how to comparison shop—for example, show them
that for every $4.85 box of cereal, there may be similar brands
on sale for half as much.
*Tickets valid for entry only on Saturday, April 18, 2015. Limit 2 tickets per household.
• As children get older, let them know what things cost. Share
sales receipts and bills that you receive for items or services
you’ve purchased for them.
• There are currently 264 known monkey species.
• Apes, like chimpanzees, are not monkeys.
• Some monkeys live on the ground, while
others live in trees.
• Most monkeys have tails.
• Different monkey species eat a variety of
foods, such as fruit, insects, flowers, leaves
and reptiles.
• If you decide to pay your children an allowance, include them
in the decision. Discuss allowance amounts and what they
should use their allowance for. The amount is your call, but
allow their input.
Get your children started right financially. Bring
them in to TruService Community Federal
Credit Union—we have more ideas to help
you teach them to get Wild About Saving!
