Money Smarts for youth: Tips from us to you
What’s green, made of paper, and used by just about everyone? MONEY!!
You may think that you’re too young to worry about money and savings. That’s what
your parents are for, right? That can't always be true. You’re never too young
to start learning the ABC’s of money. And, the sooner you start learning, the sooner
you can think about becoming a gazillionaire or taking over the world. Or, just
save up for an iPod.
There's a little math, but don't freak out. It's not too hard, and it will help
you in the future. Look at it as an opportunity to make more money than your
parents. How cool would that be?
Here are a few quick stories at the right. If you get overwhelmed, try talking
to your parents. They’re a great place to get information (but we won’t tell
them that). You can also come into your local branch and talk to us about
opening an account to get you started on the right track.
