cash

For years the boys have been getting money for gifts. This is mostly because so much of our family lives overseas.

In previous years we just bought more gifts for them with the money, but this year we have stopped.

From now on all the money given to us to buy something for them will go to them to buy something.

Kasper and Stefan are both really good at saving up for things they want, a skill they have learned through chores and allowance. So this just adds to the pot.

Both of them have been saving everything for about 4 months now, so they are getting rather well off.

David is considering putting on the ski mask and robbing Stefan. He keeps his money well. Kasper, although he has a clear goal of a Playstation 2, gives to charity’s when they come to the door. (500-1000 IKR)

Funny, because I think we are poor.

So Stefan would be the kid to rob, he has more.

wow…that went off topic.

Point being, I am letting the kids decide for themselves what they want. It gives them a clearer view of money.
