Saving money was taught to be a part of growing up in children in the past in comparison to those who more easily spend now.

In recent years, children find it easier to spend on things they want to buy. This reason can be influenced by many factors such as television commercials and peer pressure. Parents need to teach their children different ways of saving from a younger age and make them understand the importance of it,this will help them in the future. For example, I remember growing up having a piggy bank where I collected money for a period of three months I would start collecting every penny I got.During the end of this period, I would be so excited and look forward to the day that I could use the cash and buy something I really wanted. This habit made me realize the importance of saving. It also helped me become more patient as well as to understand the value of what I bought. Since I understood the importance of saving, it helped me save and budget when I had to be independent.
