My earliest (or one of the earliest) memories is of a guy in a mascot costume coming to our preschool to promote a bank. I think they gave us some money boxes, and I guess they were trying to teach us about the importance of saving money. I would have been 3 or 4 at the time.

35+ years on I can still vividly remember the mascot, which bank it was, etc.

It saddens me that my earliest memory is of a form of advertising.



I wonder, if there was a video available of this, how closely your memory would match the actual event.


So... How good of a saver have you been since then?
