Over the past week or so Aunty Nae has said that they're thinking of how to implement a money earning scheme for the boys (probably just Mac at this point), and it's got us thinking on how we'll do it for the girls. We've talked about it and I've read some of the finer details about a money plan on a blog that I follow (71 toes)
Tonight as Daddy Joe got ready to go out with the missionaries I called the girls into the lounge and made an executive decision about how we'll dish out money. I have no idea how well or badly this will work but we'll just have to wait and see.
Basically, the girls could potentially earn their age in money (Faith $5 and Ella $3) per week. We'll have a discussion on Sunday evenings about who gets what and that will be based on
1. Overall behaviour & obedience
2. Having their 'zone' organized by inspection time at 7pm every evening
This week Faith is on 'outside zone' which means she needs to tidy up chairs and stuff on the deck, put all bikes, scooters, balls by the garage and clear shoes away from the front door.
This week Ella is on 'inside zone' which means tidying away the toys and books from the lounge, making sure all clothes are put in the washing basket and the bookshelf in the hallway is tidy and organised.
It's going to be a stretch for Ella to understand the whole concept of earning money, but I'm hoping Faith will catch it and be motivated to earn her full amount. Then maybe when Ella sees Faith getting to spend some money she'll follow suit.
If tonight's anything to go by, the zones will be spick and span by 7 for sure....they were so excited to get started on tidying as soon as I told them about their responsibilities and they're already talking about how they can't wait to have swapsies on Sunday when they swap zones for next week.
Will post about this whole concept after a few weeks and update how it's going
Oh, the Heke family bank will have a compulsory tithing and savings scheme as well!!!!
And their spending money is not ever allowed to be used on lollies!!!
