    We opened dollarmite accounts for the kids when they were born. We thought ahead with getting commonwealth accounts as we wanted to teach our children the responsability of saving and handling their money when they were older.....and by having a comm account they are able to take their bank books to school and deposit through the school. Our eldest now loves saving and is understand what things are worth in the world already.

    For the record..each of our children have recieved $10 a fortnight since they were born and any money they wish goes on top
