Great post, I totally agree that people should teach their kids about money management and money saving from young age.

I’m a little leery of teaching money skills through a bank. Don’t they thrive off people who borrow as much as they can and don’t mind paying a lot of fees?

When my daughter was little (age 5) I started her on an allowance. She could spend it on anything she wanted, but when it was gone it was gone and she couldn’t ask me for more spending money. If she wanted something expensive she would have to save 50% and I would match the other 50%. For example, as a pre-teen she saved to buy a camera. Today, as an adult, she is very financially responsible and budgets her money well.
