The Nebraska football team was last ranked in the Associated Press Top 10 the second week of October in 2003. Though the Cornhuskers had not been ranked in the pre-season Top 25 poll, they had worked their way up to No. 10 with five consecutive victories.

Why? Because setting the stage for good money management is about forming good habits. According to the American Bankers Association, children develop spending habits before saving habits. That is why it is so important that you start teaching your child the importance of saving, because when they choose to save at a young age, it will become part of their future routine.
