Money Lessons with BOS Dog

What is Saving?

Saving means putting money away so that you can use it later.

For example, rather than buying one piece of candy right away, if you save your money, you could buy two pieces of candy or maybe even something special like a new toy or game.

Make a Savings Goal

Saving is easier when you have a goal in mind. Ask yourself: What is something that I really want someday? 

It could be a new toy, a special trip, or even something big like saving for your future. Every goal takes time, and that’s okay, even small savings can turn into something big!

Start Small, Dream Big

You don’t need a lot of money to start saving, what matters most is getting started. At BOS, we are here to help build smart money habits, along with a little help and encouragement from BOS Dog.

Once you reach your first savings goal, make sure to celebrate your hard work and be proud of yourself.

Practice Every Day

Saving money is a habit, just like brushing your teeth or cleaning your room.

You can start your savings by:

• Saving your allowance
• Putting aside birthday or holiday money
• Adding spare change

Little by little your savings will add up, all you need is a little patience and practice.
