Lyckoslanten is a free magazine and is sent to Swedish school children attending the grades of 4–6.[4] The goal of the magazine is to improve children's inclination to thrift[1] and their financial literacy skills.[6] It also encourages children to think about how they use their allowance.[3] It covers funny comics, competitions and tips.[3] The magazine has published several comic strip series, including Spara och Slösa.[1] It was featured in the magazine from its start in 1926 to 1963 as part of the savings campaigns.[5][7]
