A lot of adults today can't seem to balance their checkbook or credit card debt. So some adults of the future are getting an early start on their economic IQ.

NewsChannel 13 looked into how one financial institution is banking on getting more students to save.

Student Matt Sherman is about to make a deposit, right here at Ballston Spa Middle School, where the TCT Credit Union is just opening up its newest branch.

“The biggest thing is about saving-showing them the time value of money and getting them to systematically save,” said Irv Hilts of TCT Credit Union.

Because as some of the issues affecting the economy show not all adults learned the lesson of saving.

So, Ballston Spa students can now go from learning how to add, to understanding how money adds up when you put some of it away.
