<![CDATA[Saving habits from an early age are one of the simple ways to introduce elementary school children to responsible financial management. Saving is not merely about setting money aside but can also serve as a means of developing discipline, frugality, responsibility, and the ability to control spending desires. This community service activity was conducted by students of the Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata/KKN) of IAI IMSYA Indonesia, Group 7, at SD Negeri 005 Binuang, Kampar Regency, Riau, with the aim of providing students with an initial understanding of the importance of saving and wise use of money in their daily lives. The activity employed an educational and participatory approach through material delivery using simple language, contextual examples, discussions, and question-and-answer sessions. The materials covered the definition and benefits of saving, pocket money management, the distinction between needs and wants, and simple ways to develop saving habits. The results showed that students participated enthusiastically and gained a basic understanding of the concept of saving. Students also began to understand the importance of setting aside part of their pocket money and considering needs and wants before spending. This activity serves as an initial step in introducing financial management to elementary school students through a simple approach suited to children's characteristics. Sustaining saving habits requires support from teachers and parents so that the understanding gained can be consistently applied in students' daily lives.]]>
