Money Saving

To save money is really an uphill task in view of rising expenditure and inflation but we can learn some lessons from kids who are so fond of having a special breakable locker made of clay and inserting into it daily some money. If the kids posses inherent habit of saving some money, then why cant we (with intellect) do this for a better tomorrow.
The kids ask for money twice or thrice in a day and rush to shop for buying some candies. I found this type of saving money quite useful but I have to protect this treasure from thieves.
