Financial Literacy\u2014Borrowing vs. Saving focuses on the pros and cons to each choice to help kids decide what they would do if they wanted to buy something.<\/p>\n<p>Saving money is something we do so that we can eventually buy something we want, like a new bike. This can take time. If you want something more immediately, you can borrow money. Borrowing money, however, means that you have to pay back the money you borrowed over time. And sometimes you have to pay interest. You can get a loan from someone, like a parent, and pay it back over time. <\/p>\n<p>We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about these important skills!
