Save the Money You Earn this Summer!

In a month or so summer vacation will start!

Are you planning to earn some money this summer? If you want to, but you aren’t sure how, a few ideas are listed below. Ask your parents for permission—and see if they have any other money-making ideas for someone your age!

1. Help clean up around the house.
   
2. Pull weeds.
   
3. Clean the garage.
   
4. Help plant the vegetable or flower gardens.
   
5. Clean up after your dog or cat.

Once you’ve earned your money, you should save some of it. Here are a few ideas to help you save:

1. When you earn some money, split it in half. You can save half and spend half. If you want to save to buy something special, then save more than half. Put the money that you save in your credit union account.
   
2. When you buy something and get change back, put the change in your credit union account. Save it in a special place at home (like a piggy bank or even an empty jar) until someone can take you to the credit union.
