I turned my son from a spender into a saver. He couldn't hold onto a dollar to save his life.
I took him to the bank, opened an account, they gave him a cool green pig, and they matched his first $20 deposit, along with another $20 for his straight A's and community service. The have a cool coin counter machine he likes to work. He has over $88 and is all about "saving" and going to the bank now.. not bad for a 6 yr old who's bombarded with cool stuff to buy.
Saving, then investing, right?
