How to teach it
Frame every dollar as a choice: spend it now or save it for something bigger. Track a pretend piggy bank across weeks so saving visibly accumulates, and name giving as a third choice.
Worked example
Common mistake
Thinking saved money is 'gone'. Show that it is still theirs, just waiting, and that small weekly amounts add up.
