Your words....

"Silly little boy, it is no use talking to you because you refuse to
answer
the one question I have repeatedly asked. *How, specifically, do you
intend
to teach children to save money if you ever find yourself actually
teaching
in a classroom?* Until you answer that one simple question, do not
ask me
any more questions. "

I have supplied you with my suggestion of how, specifically, I intend
to teach them to save money. So, since that was your ONLY requirement
(according to this post), I await your replies to my questions.
