Theresa Triceratops has no idea where to put her eggs. Her eggs are very important to her, and she wouldn’t want to lose one.  When Theresa Triceratops started looking for a place to put her eggs, she took a long time to think about what kind of nest would work for her. Theresa realized that she wanted to make sure her eggs were somewhere safe, where they can grow and are reachable at all times. This is exactly what you should be looking for in your savings account.  

Safe Place

Theresa Triceratops found a spot for her eggs that was away from any dangerous dinosaurs that might want to take them. Your money, also, needs to be in a safe place so that you don’t lose any of it by accident. The nest for your egg is your credit union savings account! A credit union savings account is protected by the government because they will cover up to $250,000 of your money in case something out of your hands happens to it. Now that Theresa has found a spot that is safe for her eggs, she wants to make sure they will grow. 

Growth

Theresa keeps her eggs in a warm and dry spot so that her babies can keep growing. Keeping your money in a credit union savings account will keep your money growing with dividends. Dividends are a portion of the company’s earning that is shared with the owners, which is you! You get money just for having your money secure in the credit union. With Theresa’s eggs safe and growing, she needs to make sure she can get to them easily.  

Reachable

Theresa made sure to find a spot for her nest where she could go eat food, drink water, and relax while still keeping an eye on her eggs. With a credit union savings account, your money is easily reachable from any of your local credit union branches. All you have to do is ask your parents to take you to the credit union. Then, walk up to the teller line and ask for the money you need from your account. Make sure to leave some of your money in the account so it is safe and can keep growing!     

Theresa took her time finding the perfect nest and now is ready to start adding more eggs to it. Follow Theresa’s lead by being a SAVEasuarus today and adding money to your savings account. Keep an eye out for more great information throughout Youth Month.
