Building Smart Money Habits for the Future
Mar 21, 2025 || By IHMVCU
April is Credit Union Youth Month, a time dedicated to helping kids and teens develop smart money habits that will last a lifetime. At IHMVCU, we believe financial education should start early, empowering young savers to make informed decisions about their money.
Why It Matters
Teaching kids about saving, budgeting, and responsible spending sets them up for long-term financial success. Studies show that children who learn money management skills early are more likely to become financially responsible adults.
