Money, Banking & Saving

📋 What it is

Money is a trusted tool for trading and storing value; banks keep it safe and pay interest, which grows savings over time.

🗣️ Coach says

Money works because everyone TRUSTS it stands for value. Banks keep it safe and add a little extra — interest — for letting them use it. Save early and interest builds on interest, so money can quietly grow while you sleep.

🧠 Memory hook

Money = trusted value. Save early → interest builds on interest.
