Saving money is really important. Even though my parents are well-off, they were able to teach me the value of saving money by buying me this huge plastic piggy bank. All throughout my elementary and high school years, my dad and I had a deal — whatever amount I was able to save in my piggy bank for the year, my dad will give me double so I could put it all in my savings account. I want to do the same with my kids. I want them to learn the value of money, and know how to save money. Although my parents’ method was effective, I think there are other alternatives nowadays. More modern methods of teaching kids how to save. One of these methods that I found is Ekomini.
This is actually the world’s first and only interactive web-enabled piggy bank. And it comes with an online educational game, Ekominiville.
This online games teaches children about saving, planning, and even donating to different social causes. My little Sab is just 3 years old, so it’s a bit young to start her on this program. This is best for children 6-12 years.
I hope they still have it when Sab and Sanjo turn 6.
