Step 2. Listen to the Song
Now listen to the song The Secret together. Listen as many times as you like!
Step 3. Discuss Song
The song lyrics call attention to a big money secret - saving is as great habit! Have a discussion with your child, children or students about the song. Ask them what lyrics from the song they like the most and why.
For example, I love the lyrics:
"... Saving is a great habit..."
"... A little secret that is good as gold..."
"... You save a little then you save some more..."

Applied knowledge is powerful and life transforming.
Give your child or children opportunities to earn and save money.
