In this episode of Tween Talk, I’ll show you how to sink your teeth into saving using SMART goals. Big dreams—like cool shoes, games, or something special you’ve been wanting—can feel huge at first. But when you break them into small, bite-sized steps, reaching your goal becomes much easier. I’ll teach you how to make a savings plan that helps your money grow little by little until—poof!—you’re closer to your goal than you ever imagined.

Episode 6 - Spend Money Wisely
Just because you have money in your pocket doesn’t mean you have to spend it all right away! In this episode of Tween Talk with Bud, I’m sharing some merry-smart tips about spending money wisely. We’ll talk about the difference between needs and wants. Needs are the things we must have, like food, clothes, and school supplies. Wants are the fun extras we enjoy but don’t always have to buy. When we learn to take care of our needs first, we make much better choices with our money.
