We believe that families that practice saving together become powerful economic units in control of their financial future, which leads to them being secure and strong. Moreover, it is important that parents strive to be savings role models for their children, so that they too understand the importance of saving. We also want to make this a fun and rewarding exercise, and will be offering attractive rewards so that families can start on a positive note on the first day of the new year.”
