Financial security is a life goal for everyone, and building the skills to achieve that goal starts at an early age.
Learning money management skills early in life will help children develop good habits, said Mengya Wang, Oklahoma State University Extension finance specialist.
“Children start to develop financial attitude at 5 to 6 years old,” Wang said.
Letter to Editor:
Growing up in El Reno, I’ve seen the quiet strength our men carry, but I’ve also seen how often that silence becomes a burden.
June is Men’s Health Month, and I believe it’s time we talk about the hard stuff - our health, our struggles, and the pressure to stay silent. I’ve faced my own battles, and I’m still learning that taking care of myself is not weakness, it’s survival.
If you’re reading this and carrying something heavy, please know you’re not alone.
Members of the Underwood Club of Oklahoma Home and Community Education met for their June meeting in the home of Janan Fletcher.
Others attending were Michele Rivers, Renee’ Schweitzer, Ann Ricketts, Bernita Davis and Vicki Duncan.
Ricketts led the flag salute. Fletcher offered the devotional thought from Matthew 6:19-24 and gave the treasurer’s report.
Members will give a donation to the 4-H for roundup and awards.
Duncan conducted roll call with the question, “What’s your favorite thing to put on a cracker?”
