Three tech tricks to help us save
Because saving is smart
Girls like us use phones to keep in touch with our family and friends. But there’s so much more we can do with our phones. Like save up for something we really want.
Maybe it’s a skill we’ve always dreamed of learning. Or a dress we’ve been eyeing forever. Whatever it is, we can use technology to achieve our goals.
Here’s how:
- Mobile Money: We can use mobile money on our phones to save, send and receive money. We can also buy call credit and other affordable stuff. There are many types of mobile money accounts. Many are linked to phone providers like Glo and MTN. If we want to know more about mobile money we can ask these phone providers. We can call their customer service on our phones or go to their stores.
- Budget Apps: There are many free apps that make saving fun. How? Well, if our weekly pocket money is N100, we can make a list of everything we want. It’ll help us plan better and stay focused. In good time, we’ll save more money than we ever imagined.
- Internet Banking: Most banks are online just like us. So if a trusted adolt opens an account for us, we can access it from a phone. When they make deposits for us, we can keep track on our phones. We can check our daily balance and view our monthly statements. Bit by bit, we’ll save up for lots of things. The earlier we start, the better.

Hey Mai! We understand that saving money can be difficult sometimes. First of all, you need to know what you are saving for. The trick to saving is to save towards something (end of the year, phone, a gift for a friend etc). This way, you are not so tempted to spend the money you get. You can also make a piggy bank to save money. With this, you will not be able to get the money out until you break it. You can tell a carpenter to make it or you can buy one. We hope this helps.

Hey chukz! Thanks for the comment. Not everyone grows fast. You should not compare yourself to others because everyone is different. Your growth rate maybe a lot slower than your friends. You are 14 and so you have a lot of time to grow. Also, note that your height does not determine how good you are or any other thing. When you pay so much attention to it, it will definitely affect you. We hope this helps
people are different.So is how they grow.Dont feel down coz of dat
