My parents save 50p's in a jar for my son (he's 5)
When it gets up to £20 they give it to him and me and him take it to the bank and pay it into his account. I think its great as it gets him used to money and saving
And hopefully wont be a spender like his Dad but that's a whole other thread

thats a bad idea.
i use a password manager, that also generates super secure passwords, so when im on a site (such as this) i log into the password manager once - then it knows im on here so click and it loads up the log in into the "username / password" fields and im in, so in essence one password to mentally remember and all the others nested inside that.
