You're never too young to learn good money-saving habits.

Baltimore City youths learned lessons about personal finance through football-themed games with the Baltimore Ravens.

The team joined M&T Bank, and EVERFI to bring the Financial Fitness Academy to Armistead Gardens Elementary\Middle School.

Students got to think about game-day budgeting and even how to spend money if they were the team's general manager.

"Fourth through sixth grade is a really great time for them to develop those financial skills and really build a foundation on what a budget looks like, and how they should be spending their money, what they should be prioritizing, what it looks like to have debit vs. credit, and how to really build those basics so that they can continue to grow and develop wealth as they age," said Kelly Tallant, with the Baltimore Ravens.

The Ravens host the event in observance of National Financial Literacy Month.
