Saved Your First $100

$100 is the test of whether saving is real. Anyone can earn $100. Holding it without spending for thirty days is harder than it sounds. Put it where the kid can see it: a jar, an app, a bank balance. The friction of having to physically access it is what makes the saving stick. Tap-to-pay savings vaporize. Visible savings accumulate. That's the difference for life.

1. 01Put the money where it requires friction to access.
2. 02Check the balance daily the first week. Looking reinforces holding.
3. 03Don't touch it for 30 days.
4. 04Decide whether to keep going. Either choice is fine; the holding was the milestone.
