MCB Arif Habib

As a parent what comes to your mind when we say the word ‘saving’? Probably mixed reviews would be future, money, travel and much more to the material element of life. But do we ever think how important this word could mean in our Children’s life? Probably not...

Introduce your children to the word ‘saving’.

It’s never too early to introduce the topic of money to your child, especially if you approach the process by leading through example. Talk about the importance of money and explain your daily actions to your child just make sure it’s age-appropriate. The sooner parents start taking advantage of everyday teachable money moments (for example, give a six-year-old Rs. 2 and let her choose which vegetable to buy), the better off our kids will be. Parents are the number one influence on their children’s financial behaviours, so it’s up to us to raise a generation of mind-full consumers, investors, savers, and givers.

Bachat, by the kids, for the Kids! Gulluck Plan

MCBAH is trying to bring the same habit of savings back to your children; the old fashioned way, in a Gulluck style. So keep providing your child with Gullucks for as long as their savings can fit. May their savings outgrow the Gulluck!

Today is the time that we need to save the most. Save from daily desires to construct the dream, which is the future of our children, Brick by Brick, rupee by rupee. Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning, let you child play with GULLUCKs’.
