I think at ten, spending and saving are basically the same thing. You're just saving so you can spend more later. But the lesson about investing is an important one. And the Disney example is even better....sometimes your investment goes down. What happens then? Risk. Return. All fantastic lessons.
I know a couple local companies that are traded publicly and would be very visible for a young investor. In addition to the Disney's and Marvel's, some of these local businesses could spark an interest.
