Abstract
The use of cashless payments has increased over recent years. In the transition toward a cashless society, it is urgent to teach children both the value of money and the ability to manage their money. This paper analyzed the newly developed “one-month pocketbook” and its educational effects on 110 primary school students. Questionnaires were used to ask their parents about the changes in their children after using the “one-month pockebook.” They indentified multiple changes such as showing more interest in money and educational effects. Moreover, questionnaires were used to ask students. It was observed that students were interested in money and showed high non-cognitive abilities. After booking the “one-month pocketbook,” students exhibited changes in their ability to control, design, and manage their lives. Therefore, by using this newly developed pocketbook, students can learn how to use money in their real lives.
