For the longest time my husband & I have been wanting to open up an savings account for our little man. We kept talking about it, and talking about but never got around to doing so. Finally last week my husband went to our bank and opened up Hunter's own savings account from the money he received from Christmas. We each agreed to put in $10 per paycheck. Can you imagine how much money this little boogers going to have by time he's 18?!? A lot!
It's so cute when you sign your children up for there 1st/own account. He is now part of the Squirrels Club at our bank. He got a free tee-shirt along with it, he'll also receive special birthday gifts.
I wish so badly we opened his account up from the day he was born. Just think we could have had 1 years worth of money already sitting in his savings. I'm so glad though we decided to go along with this. We also put our spare change in his piggy bank, that's a good savings as well.
We've got it figured all out...
by time he reaches 18, he'll be able to spend his savings on mommy & daddy for a Free hunt trip out of state! Haha! Wouldn't that be nice of our children if they thought of us parents like that at age 18!!! Yea right! The only thing that's on there mind at that age is boys/girls & getting out of mommy & daddy's house. haha.
On a serious note, Wayne & I both agreed this money will go for his College fund (to wherever he chooses if he decides to go) or for a vehicle! I'm sure the cost of living will be much higher than today's living.
This savings will be all worth it at the end & I cannot wait to start building up his account with money.
