To be a good saver, you must make saving an important part of your life. You have to decide that you want to save, then look at the monies you receive daily/ weekly/monthly, and decide how much of it you can save. Sometimes you will find it difficult to save because there are so many things that you want – a new DVD game, a new music CD, a new pair of shoes.
Learning to separate your wants from your needs is an important part of saving. So when you are thinking of how you can possibly save some of your allowance, think of buying one (1) snack per week instead of two (2). You have to make a commitment to save!
Tell Mummy and Daddy about your savings goal and ask them to help you save towards it. So next birthday or for that special occasion, when everyone wants to know what you want, ask for a gift in the form of money or a RightStart Gift Certificate.
A RightStart Gift Certificate can be obtained at any Republic Bank branch and it is free! Save your Gift Certificate money and watch your savings grow!
