Money, Money, Money!!!!
There is a hot new topic in our house - MONEY! My husband and I decided it was time to institute allowance in our home, but not without a way to earn it. We don't believe in just giving the kids money for nothing - we want them to learn to earn what they get, and have an appreciation for it. So we gave all of them, except Buddy Boy, charts with four or five jobs a day, and told them they would earn 'X' amount of dollars - if they complete each of them, each day, all week. Most of them are things they were fairly accustomed to, and we will change them now and then, probably monthly. With their new found 'wealth', it was a great time for teaching two things: 1. How to spend and how to save! We believe in a 10% tithe, so one dollar of their weekly allowance is always given in dimes, making it easier to understand the concept of 10 percent. We also encourage giving extra to missionaries - there is great value in a dollar well earned, but we also want to teach
Fancy graphic! I hope he feels okay and is back to 100% soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you! You know boys - there's no telling from one day to the next :) I am just very thankful that it did more damage on the outside than the inside, if you know what I mean! :) Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
