Mum, I remember last week you said that I’m fantasising about saving for a new expensive phone.
Dad, when I first told you I was saving 300$ for a new phone you laughed and said “Yeah Right”.
I want to learn how to save my money. You tell me all the time to not waste my money on little useless things and save. Which now, I’m finally trying to do and you are taking the mickey out of it.
I think it’s time that you support me through this element of life!
“Parents can be strict on their children’s money” “that’s why we have designed and come up with a new and improved savers card” Says a man from a Westpac bank. In his eyes, he developed this card for a very good reason.
I have recently seen lots of kids at school spending their money on food at the canteen. The same ones come and go without thinking what they could really save and buy. To be honest that used to be me, now I’m changing that, and for good. Okay, so I may occasionally buy my lunch but that doesn’t mean I’m going to spend all my money at once.
So really the Question is... Do you ever wonder what kind of financial situation Graem or I could get into? Whether I’m poor or rich, there’s still going to be a chance where I will go through a hard time trying to save and pay for things. I want to save so that I will be ready for the future when it comes.
Mum & Dad. I think it shall be crystal clear to you by now that I want to save. So please take your time and help.
