This week's savings tip

Saving money and learning good spending habits starts young. One of the easiest ways to teach children about money is by opening up their own savings account. Many financial institutions now offer kid-friendly accounts, for example the Quackers Club from the LOC Credit Union in Hartland and Howell, which offers not only kid-friendly accounts, but newsletters and programs designed to help kids learn about earning, saving and spending money responsibly. Check out what your bank has to offer and help your children start saving today.
