It was during a unit study on banking and money management we did in our home school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-savings-account#post-479586 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 21:06:44 +0000 Bao 479586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not, but this is something I want to change for my LO. We started one for her so she has money to buy a car, go to college, or buy a house. It won't be a lot but at least it's something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-savings-account#post-465305 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 12:55:19 +0000 Charm54 465305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes - and every time the tooth fairy would come, she would leave a toonie for me under my pillow and put 10$ in my bank account. It was really neat - beside the deposit in my bank book would be a little tooth fairy stamp! I think it was a program the bank ran. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-savings-account#post-465292 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 12:41:24 +0000 Mrsbells 465292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I remember going to the bank and getting a free t-shirt with the banks name on it and a bank shaped piggy bank for my coins. I was in kindergarten so I must have been about 5 and a half </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-savings-account#post-465290 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 12:38:40 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 465290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have one. My brother's grandparents had (and still have) one for me. They have a farm and raise cattle. When my brothers and I were young they gave us our own cows. We get the money from any offspring of that cow when they're sold. They will occasionally give me some "cow money", but I won't get all of it until they pass away. I hope that is many years from now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-savings-account#post-465286 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 12:35:17 +0000 ladyfingers 465286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah but I was constantly pillaging it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-savings-account#post-465099 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 09:20:49 +0000 mrbee 465099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents put our money into a savings account, and it went to help pay down the mortgage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-savings-account#post-465090 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 09:09:06 +0000 JoJoGirl 465090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha! This is fun to think about! My parents had their own banking system for us - they took all our birthday, babysitting, etc money and kept tabs on what they 'owed' us. I saved most of it my entire childhood and then blew it all going to Europe after college :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-savings-account#post-464981 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 09:00:00 +0000 autumnlove 464981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom opened an account for me when I was 8. I had to deposit 50% of all birthday and Christmas money in there! </p>
