Saving money means keeping some of your money instead of spending it all right away! When you put coins in a piggy bank, you are saving money. Saving is a very smart thing to do because it helps you buy something special later. It feels so exciting when you finally have enough saved up!
There are many ways to save money. You can use a piggy bank, a jar, or even a real bank where grown-ups keep their money safe. It is a good idea to make a plan for your money. You can spend some, save some, and even share some with others. Some families save money together for fun things like a trip to the zoo or a new game to play!
- Long ago in England, people kept their coins in jars made of a type of pottery called “pig,” which is how we got the name “piggy bank!” Banks pay you a little extra money called interest just for keeping your money there.
- Learning to save when you are young is a great habit that will help you your whole life!
