How to do it

  1. 1

    Tap Learn.

  2. 2

    Scroll down and tap Grow lab.

  3. 3

    Pick how much under Each week.

  4. 4

    Pick For how long: 1, 3, 5 or 10 years.

  5. 5

    Look at the lines to see how each way of saving grows.

The Grow lab compares three ways to keep money: - Piggy bank: safe at home, but it never grows. - Bank savings: the bank pays you a little for keeping it. - Money market fund: it can grow faster, but it can go up or down. A grown-up opens it for you.

It’s for learning. No real money moves.

Questions

I can’t see the Grow lab.

It shows up in Learn once you’re 8.

Why does the money grow?

Banks and funds pay you a little extra for keeping your money with them. Over many years, that extra grows too.
