Finally one day he declared that he was not going to spend any more money until he had enough for a Webkinz. But he could never save enough money to buy himself one. Then another one of our children made a withdrawal almost every time I went to the store and he would raid the dollar aisle at Target.

It took him over 1.5 years of a lot of hard work and saving to do so, but he felt a great sense of satisfaction when he was able to walk out of the store with it in his hand. One of our children saves and hordes every penny and was able to buy himself a Wii when his parents would not. We have seen some interesting differences in our children’s spending habits. We set 50 percent of their earnings for them to spend in any manner they please. I always let them pay for their purchase separately so they see how it feels to hand over their hard earned money for what they have chosen to buy. They are allowed to take that money with them too the store and spend it on what they choose to spend it on. Then we as the bank actually hand them the actual amount in cash. Then if the kids want to spend some money from their bank account they get their checkbook registers out and make a withdrawl. We record what they did and the amount we have deposited into their “bank account”. So we decided to give each of them a checkbook register to record their earnings every time they earned some money. Then we ran into the problem of having the proper amount of change on hand sometimes to pay them when they were finished. They are only paid when the job has been completed to mom and dad’s standards. Each job has a set price based on the difficulty and the type of chore they choose to complete. Then we have compiled a list of other chores and jobs that they may do to allow them to earn their “allowance”. Although we do not pay them for this, we have a point reward system to motivate them and to reward them for their obedience. For example every day they are expected to have their rooms clean and their beds made and complete a couple of additional chores that need to be done that day. So at our house the kids are each expected to do chores they are assigned to every day without pay. I want them to grasp the concept that if they want money, then THEY are going to have to EARN it! We want our kids to realize that when they are older, someone will not just hand them a sum of money each week for doing nothing. Personally, we do not believe in giving our kids a weekly or monthly allowance. My husband and I have tried for a while to determine the best way to teach the basics of money to our children.
