Brush Your Teeth - Get The Point!!
I put into play the give/save/spend system.
I was wondering though as to how long you have your children save their money. I told mine it's a yearly thing to save for those big items they want, but I'm curious what y’all use it for. I also put into play the point system. We have been using chore charts for years, but your simple point system looks neater. And I actually have stuff in there that the typical child wouldn't actually need, as one of my children has autism - so we have TEETH POINTS ... brushing teeth without a fight.
- Economiser Note:
Regarding what our kids do with their "Save Money". It is to be saved for either a car or college. John, our eldest, used his savings to buy his first car. College has been covered with scholarship funds. The only thing we required was that he kept at least $1000 in the bank as a fund for unexpected car repairs. Our 18 year-old daughter, Becky, had a dream of owning a miniature horse and was planning to use some of her savings to purchase the horse and supplies.
