“Teach Them Young”: SA Celebrates 9-Year Old for Saving to Buy His Own Phone

• A little boy and his adorable bag of coins have the internet talking after he was able to buy a phone with the moola
• One social media user says the 9-year-old saved a bunch of his pocket money to purchase the tech advice
• Peeps headed to the comments section congratulating the young man for using his money so wisely

An adorable little boy is definitely being an example to many South Africans with poor spending habits. The money-savvy tween apparently saved up his pocket money for the exciting purchase and has peeps encouraged to come up with their own savings plans.

Heading online, Twitter user @KingDon_za shared a pic of the little boy alongside his new device.

"This 9-year-old bought himself a Samsung A2 core with his own savings, teach them while they are still young," he enthusiastically captioned the post.
