Q: When did you open your first bank account and why?
J.T: 14, my mum made me open a bank account so I could save up for my school trip.
H.L: I actually can’t remember but I think I pestered my parents to do it for me so I could have a card, I thought they were so cool to have in your wallet!

Q: Do you have any money or savings tips for OINK! readers?
