Building Smart Money Habits for the Future

Building Smart Money Habits for the Future

April is Credit Union Youth Month, a time dedicated to helping kids and teens develop smart money habits that will last a lifetime. At IHMVCU Credit Union, we believe financial education should start early, empowering young savers to make informed decisions about their money.

Why It Matters

Teaching kids about saving, budgeting, and responsible spending sets them up for long-term financial success. Studies show that children who learn money management skills early are more likely to become financially responsible adults.

How We Support & Help Youth

At IHMVCU, we’re committed to making saving easy and fun for kids of all ages. Here’s how we help:

• Financial education resources – Tools, tips, and activities to help parents teach kids about money

By making financial literacy engaging and accessible, we’re helping build a future generation of money-savvy adults. Ready to get your child started on the right path?
