Not long ago I picked up a brochure from one of the banks here in town (ASB).

What I read in the pamphlet reminded me of a verse in the Bible, in the Old Testament.

The information in the booklet is all about training children to save money and the Headstart account is advertised.

The emphasis in the brochure is on two things. First of all to train children to save money from an early age and secondly to train them to save money regularly.

I really like that!

Readers who know their Bible will know by now that the verse in the Old Testament I am reminded of is Proverbs 22:6:

“Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.”
