Cha-Ching, Cha-Ching: Saving is Fun

Do you get an allowance?  Or get money for doing extra chores around the house or yard?  If so, you probably like to spend it on stuff like toys and candy.  But what if you want to buy something that costs more, like a video game or new bike?  You can hope a grown-up, like a parent or grandparent, will buy it for you.  Or you can start to save some of your money.  By saving money instead of spending it all at one time, you have more choices.

Here’s a trick to help you save: Find a picture of what you would like in a catalog or an advertisement.  Get permission from a grown-up, then cut it out and paste it on a jar.  Put the money you’re saving in the jar.  When the jar is full, bring the money to Aeroquip Credit Union to put in your share savings account.  Then, when you have enough, you can buy the item.  You might find that savings is even more fun than spending.  If so, you can keep saving until you have enough to buy something you want even more.
