Fidelity Fiduciary Bank...

In case you missed the reference of this post's title, watch this. 

For some reason we decided that this was the year that Radley needed to open his first savings account. Seven sounded like a good, responsible age. You know, older than five, but not quite 10. Young enough to listen to your parents without too much argument and old enough to kind of "get it". 

We of course then waited a few months to get around to it, because, priorities. 

So, we took his literal life savings and headed to the bank. He had been planning wha he wanted to do with each portion of his money for a while and counted all the money he had marked for "investments" and was able to make a surprisingly hefty deposit. 

(His piggy bank is divided into 4 sections: Save, Invest, Donate and Spend. He is saving for an iPad, investing in college, donating to our church and spends on little things here and there like gifts for sisters, teachers and treats for himself. You can find the piggy banks here.)

After he handed his money over we sat and waited for his first official deposit slip and then Mr. Joel showed him and Ryan around the vault and talked about how banks work. 

And we ended our visit with a handshake guaranty that his money would be safe and protected.
