Part of my son's  Scout requirement is to save money-so he has been given a chore-clearing out all the shoes from the entry way at the garage-a dollar a day.Inflation you know! I tried starting off with a quarter a day but he was not interested.
But the scout requirement also insists, that he has to save 50% of it.While he was not very enamoured with the saving part, he was very interested when I converted the unsaved amount into airplane models that can be bought for about $180.00. I am thinking he will do it and we will have a clean entryway from now on! Wish us luck!!
I am actually not a proponent of pocket money.At the cost of sounding dated,I didn't get any and I turned out all right didn't I?
But if he is willing to work for it,I'm game.When I was his age,I did help a lot in the house,but,was never paid for it! So he has it good compared to a lot of us from back then.
