"National" Days Definition

National Teach Children to Save Day

Date When Celebrated : This holiday event is in April. It changes each year as set by the sponsors

Now here is a very worthwhile cause. National Teach Children to Save Day is an annual event. On this day, bankers across America teach fiscal responsibility to children of all ages. The goal of this K-12 program, is to instill in children a lifetime of good financial practices and management of their money. It starts with learning not to spend every penny you get, and to save a few of those pennies for the things they want, and for a rainy day. This financial education will help them as adults, to avoid high credit card debt and even bankruptcy.

Don't leave practical financial management education to bankers and educators. While these professionals are beneficial, kids need your teaching and insight, too. This means practicing what you preach. Kids pick up on the example you set. What you do now, they will do later in life.

Today's Quote: "Men are divided between those who are thrifty as if they will live forever, and extravagant as if they were going to die tomorrow." - - Aristotle
