The best time to 'save' is NOW. National Bonds can tell you how!

Even at a young age, you can and should start saving money. In fact, the earlier you learn the importance of saving, the sooner you can enjoy its benefits. Here are some useful saving tips for kids.

• Save first! Each time you receive money as a gift or allowance, set aside some portion as savings before you spend.
• Something old, something new! Jazz up used items from last year such as bags, pencil cases, binders, etc.
• Waste not! Use your school supplies sparingly. Gather unused paper and make your own cool notepads.
• Handle with care! Use your school supplies with care. Avoid breaking your pencils, crayons and other school items and throwing them.
• Bring your own. Instead of buying food at school, prepare your own snacks. You will not only save money, but you can also make sure you're eating nutritious foods.
• Share & care. Instead of buying new toys, try exchanging the ones you already have with friends.
• Set goals. Do you want new shoes? Then you can save for it. It is okay to want some little luxuries once in a while. This will encourage you to save and you will value the item even more because you yourself worked for it.
• Keep your savings safe. Do not just keep your savings anywhere. Save your money where it will grow. For instance, when you save with National Bonds, you get competitive profits every year and a chance to win exciting prizes every week! You can even become one of the youngest millionaires through the AED 1 million grand draw every month.
