The following are just a few reasons why teaching youth to save can be greatly beneficial to their
lives:
-
Teaching kids to save teaches self control.
Choosing to save, instead of spend, is an exercise of self control. The famous 1927 Stanford
Marshmallow Experiment showed that kids with self control are psychologically better adjusted, more
dependable and do better in school. -
Kids who save are more likely to go to college.
Research conducted by Washington University’s Center for Social Development found that children who
have a savings account in their name are seven times more likely to attend college than similar
youth without
an account. - Children with a savings account have lower stress and a greater sense of hope for the future.
- Students with a bank account tend to be more financially literate than those without an account.
