Day #96

A penny here, and a dollar there, placed at interest, goes on accumulating, and in this way the desired result is attained. It requires some training, perhaps, to accomplish this economy, but when once used to it, you will find there is more satisfaction in rational saving than in irrational spending. ~ The Art of Money Getting, by P. T. Barnum



MONDAY!! Still on Easter break and our day to sleep in and relax!


Also time to take a trip to the bank to keep teaching the kids about saving money. We are trying to instill in them the value of saving for the future. And to make your money work for you!


So we head to the bank and we let the kids do everything. From dumping the money into the sorter to dealing with the teller. My only complaint is.... Why do banks not have a kid teller window? Maybe its a security issue, or maybe nobody has thought about it.. I really think that it helps when they feel like they are doing the same thing that an adult does and they are dealing with someone eye to eye.


When the transaction is done we show them how much they now have, how much their money has grown, from interest. And how good it feels to have that money there for when you need it.


I hope teaching them young pays off when they get older.... Pun Intended!
