Laptops and Ipads, Oh My!






It happened...
It was wonderful.
It was decisive.
It was earned.
It was ownership.
It was deserved.

Payday!

As you know, back in February, my girls started

3 sisters sitting service


You can read all about it here.

Lo and behold they started getting calls, and more calls and
now we call those calls "regulars".

It's been great.
The girls stood tall in responsibility.
They became savvy little financiers.
They made financial goals.
They saved most of their money and
spent a little.

...all part of moms grand master plan.

Finally it was time.
They were ready to make that BIG purchase.

We researched.
We picked and
we purchased.

It was pure reward.
Check it out...



As parents we love to make our kids happy
and shower them with stuff they'll love.

But nothing is sweeter than
seeing your kids pay for a well earned, well deserved
item of choice that
they worked for,
sweat for and
saved for?





Delayed gratification builds character.

Would love to hear some
good sweat equity stories on your end.

Thanks to my mom and dad for teaching me
good old fashion saving techniques and passing those on to my kids.

As always, thanks for visiting.

  1. The looks on their faces says more than words. Well done!! I am encouraging Shay and her friend to start a summer project next year ... to do small errands in the neighborhood while people are away on vacation - picking up the newspaper, feeding fish, watering plants. I think it would be a good way to pick up some pocket money and some responsibility along the way.
