With that in mind, the best way to teach children the skills of basic personal finance is to help them see the link between their money and their personal goals. Kids have lots of wants, like a bike, and iPod, a pet, a car and so on. Show them how to save for those short-term goals and invest for their long-term goals. Once they save for that first goal and then achieve that goal they will be filled with complete pride. They will get hooked on the experience of saving and achieving their goals. Success breeds success! A multi-chambered piggy bank that helps kids save for multiple goals is a great tool to help get kids started with this concept. I’ve always said that success breeds success.
