P365 - 2016 - Day 215 - The Bear's objective
This summer was the first time that The Bear and The Princess worked...since they are not yet 14, they started with some babysitting for a local family. I encouraged both of them to put away half of their earnings for savings and the other half was theirs to choose how to save or spend. The Bear's objective was to get these cleats. So when he finally had enough to get them, he was very excited. They finally got here today after a small snafu with the order and he was thrilled. I think he also felt pretty accomplished to have worked for these himself. The Princess chose to use her money in different ways and was also excited today to go shopping with a friend and have enough to buy herself a bikini top that she had been eying up. I am happy that they had the opportunity to work this summer and learn first hand the value of a dollar.
