Birthday gifts and pay can start a small estate from children. Learning to share them and understand the risk helps save when prices go up. A child receives 50 euros for his birthday, thinks about sneakers and decides to keep them. A year later he will still have 50 euros, but may no longer be able to buy them. Saving allows him to postpone a wish; fulfilling it requires looking also at what happens with prices.
