Adversity is the best friend. It teaches a person how to remain tough through thick and thin. People only realise the importance of saving once they come closer to adversity or face it.
Saving as a habit should be inculcated at the early age. It should be taught as equivalent as alphabet.savings help a person during the adversity and teaches a person to remain happy during tough times. But how many people realise this????

I think children need to realise the value of money. This probably isn't best done by getting them to save a lot of money. It is probably best done by giving them a budget and letting them buy their own clothes, snacks etc and then they wil learn how much things cost and probably end up saving anyway as they wont be able to buy everything they want with one weeks money.

Absolutely !!!
Children do need to realise the value of money and the best way to make them realise is to give them a budget and let them buy.
It is easy to spend money but hard to save and the saying goes on and on....a penny saved is a penny earned !!!
Cheers !!!
