SAVING IS FUN . . . because with every dollar you save, you am
see yourself drawing closer to some much-wished-for goal. And sav-
ing is even more fun when it’s a family affair!
Have every member of the family participate in saving for the things
you’ll enjoy together ... a new car, for instance, or a new home, or
next summers vacation trip. When all of you get together to save,
your savings grow faster. (The children learn important lessons about
the value of money, too.)
