Teaching kids about savings early is an important step in helping them to become savvy about money as they get older.
A great way to get them started is to set up a savings account for your child(ren) at the credit union. You can even open sub-accounts for different savings goals you kids may have.
If your child(ren) gets a regular allowance, save time by setting up recurring transfers from your Town & Country account to their savings account. Then they can watch their money grow.
