Youth Savings Tips and Activities

Ask your parents to help you open your own Savings Account at Delta Community Credit Union. Keep track of how much money you put in and take out. That way you can see how close you are to meeting your savings goal.

Kids

If you're saving up for something special, like a new bike or toy, hang a picture of it on the wall. This will remind you of your savings goal every day until you reach it.

Everyone

Set reasonable goals.
Save first, not last. As soon as you get your paycheck, your birthday money or your allowance, put part of it away in savings.
Track your spending and your savings. People who track their spending soon find they spend less and save more.
Be a bargain hunter. When you do spend money, make sure you check for the best bargain. Watch the price tags, not the brand names at the store.
Ask questions! If you have questions about money or saving, ask the professionals at the Delta Community. We’re ready to help you.
