Saving Habit….

We must start to teach the saving habit to Kids at early stage itself… I also used to have an Undiyal (money box) for my son. Nowadays money box are available in variety of attractive designs.

I bought a money box which has a pot (kalasam) in the bottom, above which contains a coconut and a parrot is seated on the top.  It’s so traditional…  It’s covered by white cement at the bottom. So, whenever it is filled, we can collect the money from bottom. And also, again we can cover it for our reuse….

I even written his name on it in the front and in the back I have written the day on which we have started… Iam so happy that we have started on Sangadahara Sathurthi (very special day for Lord Ganesh)…

When any guest who’s visiting us, gave money to my son, I used to put in this money box. Also, I taught my son the same. If he receives any money, he will go near to our pooja shelf and asks us to lift him up, so that he can see the money box. He will tell the money box as “Kille” (we say in Tamil as kille for birds). I must maintain this habit to him even in future….

Also, I have an idea to buy something useful for him from that money… So that, I can encourage him by saying “it’s from your saving money”. Surely, he will think to save more without spending to buy something huge…

Actually, all these credits go to my neighbour sister… She only got this idea for her son… Good things, wherever it comes, we have to follow it…
