It is never too early to teach kids the skills they need to save, budget and
manage money. Without financial education, they will learn about money
from trial and error. That's why the American Bankers Association's
Education Foundation created the Teach Children to Save program.
I am privileged to be one of the many bankers across the country speaking
to students and community groups year-round about these critically
important topics.
On National Teach Children to Save Day bankers connect with kids in
classrooms and after school programs to share "Real Life" lessons about
money. These efforts help young people take an important first step in
mastering their financial ABC's - - learning how to save.
