that is indeed a great idea! I wish my country's government was as forward-thinking as that!
I hope that I will be able to teach my kids about money and how to not just make it, but use it well
Any help that parents can give their kids in regard to money management and personal finances will be appreciated so much when the children get older. There just aren't a lot of parents that teach this information to their children leaving it to them to learn on their own. It's well worthwhile to take advantage of these offers.
