We are teaching our son the art of saving for the future. We are allowing him to decide how to save his money, what to save it for, and when to spend it…with guidance, of course. You don’t just let a child run around with their own money and go willy nilly. You teach them about how to buy silver coins, invest in accounts with high returns, balance a check book, make correct decisions about what is worth buying or saving to obtain… and so much more.
