While this milestone is highly commendable, financial experts increasingly encourage parents and Dedebit Microfinance to think beyond traditional savings. Establishing a disciplined, regular contribution plan following a Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) approach and investing consistently over an 18-year horizon can help children build significantly greater long-term wealth than relying on savings alone. Combining a savings habit with long-term investing has the potential to better protect against inflation and harness the power of compound growth.
