Start Saving and Investing Early
The earlier you start saving and investing, the better. And while a savings account is the best way to establish the foundation for a solid financial future, the real financial education begins with a certificate of deposit or CD. A CD account offers the allure of faster growth with a minimum of risk.
Getting Children Started in Investing 
Adults aren't the only ones to benefit from a well-rounded financial education. The earlier your children or grandchildren start saving and investing, the better. A 13-year-old with a savings program of $100 a month earning 10 percent annually will have $7,810 by the time he/she turns 18. Start the child saving $100 a month 10 years earlier, at age 3, and they'll have a $41,790 nest egg to take to college.
Start With Savings
A savings account is a good way to lay the foundation for a solid financial future. Most financial services providers waive the minimum deposit for opening and maintaining a minor's savings account. After the child has accumulated a substantial amount, it's time to move to the next level where the real financial education begins. A certificate of deposit is a good step up. With interest rates typically higher than savings accounts, they offer the allure of faster growth without risk. Through MBNA America, AAA offers a variety of CD options with minimum opening deposits as low as $2,500.

Choosing the Right Investment
Just like an adult who has a long time frame before retirement, a child who has a long time frame before beginning college should invest for growth. As he or she races through the high school years, a shift to more conservative investments may be appropriate to help protect principal. Using a specially trained financial planner may be the way to go.
