I don’t know about you, but I’m so excited about the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. Every year I look forward to this time of year: Summer!
It makes me feel like a kid again. Like I won’t have homework or teachers or tests for a couple of months.
I also remember my parents teaching me some financial skills during those childhood summers:
-Save half of the cash you’re paid for babysitting
-Put it into your savings account, not a piggy bank
-At the end of the summer you can buy one thing as a reward for your hard work
When my friends were struggling to pay for gas at 16, I actually had some money saved up (and gas was only like, $1.50 then! Oh the days!).
At Truliant, we offer the Dollar Dog Club that’s geared towards teaching children about financial skills; kind of like my parents did, but with fun games and tools instead! All it takes is opening a savings account with $5.00, and you’re on your way to increasing your child’s financial success.
What are some of your favorite summer memories? What memories are you planning to make this Memorial Day weekend?
