Anton is a very smart little Ant. He saves up for things he likes to buy, and he doesn't buy anything until he had given it much thought and unless he's sure he really needs it. When Anton does spend his money on things like toys, he buys them only if they are really special and have lasting value. Anton knows his good money habits will pay off someday. After all, he knows that a peso saved is a peso earned.

Anton the Ant's Peso-Smart Tips   1. Start saving money now.     You are never too young to start thinking of saving. 2. Set a goal.     Decide how much money you are willing to put aside every week from your allowance.     Save also the money you receive as a gift or earn from doing chores around the house. 3. Try to put a little money away every day.     You will be surprised to see how much you will save in a year if you are consistent. 4. Ask your parents to help you open a savings account. 5. Know the difference between "wants" and "needs".     It's okay to spend for items you need, but you will need to think twice     before spending for items you merely want. 6. Be a wise shopper.     Get items that give you the best value for the least amount of money. 7. Keep a list of your daily spending.     This will help you see whether you are spending your money wisely.     Your list will also help you see which expenses you can avoid. 8.
