Learning money management early

I was blown away by the group of children we visited yesterday. They were taught by their mothers to replicate the Saving for Change group concept. Their ages ranged from about 3 to 21 with most around 8-9. Every week they save 20 cents each. The whole group (even the 3-4 year olds) seemed so disciplined and motivated. It was excited to see the group so invested in money management at such a young age. And it makes you wonder what other unexpected effects the Saving for Change program is having.
