We have five dollar bills and ten dollar bills. If you are lucky you will have twenty dollar bills, fifty dollar bills and even hundred dollar bills. Our bills in Canada are different colors. That makes them easy to recognize if you go somewhere to spend them.
It is wise to save your money. If you save enough, you could have hundreds or thousands of dollars. Saving small amounts consistently can grow into large sums over time. Understanding the value of different coins and bills helps you make smart choices about spending and saving. Being patient and consistent in saving is one of the best financial habits you can develop.
