5. You need to know about savings: In today’s weird holiday, April 21 is Teach Your Children to Save Day. The American Bankers Association sponsors the holiday as a way to encourage all people the importance of saving money and the role that banks and bankers play. In other weird or wacky holidays, today is also Kindergarten Day, National Chocolate-Covered Cashews Day, High Five Day and Holy Thursday.
