The cuties did great last week with the new allowance plan. Ten year old ended up with $20 and 8 year old with $21. They saved $10, gave $5 to charity/church and the rest is theirs to waste. They have not spent yet - SHOCKER!!!! Ten year old is saving for iTouch and 8 year old does not know what she is saving for. Ten year old does not even have permission to buy an iTouch. We'll see!
The week went very well. The girls cleaned up behind themselves, made their beds, completed extra tasks (IE vacuumed car, took out trash), and finished homework without much argument. Money does talk!!!!! They lost some allowance during the week for things like: 'tude, leaving shoes/socks/toys behind, or not completing their morning and night routines. And let me say - they were held to a high standard and earned every penny. I cut them zero slack and took away $1 if a pair of socks were out of place. It is soooooo worth it (so far).
