Value of a Dollar

Today I decided to teach my kids the value of a dollar.. They always get money and it burns a hole in there pocket. They beg to go to the store and buy something they play with one time or breaks shortly after they buy it. They are always asking me for Nintendo DS or PlayStation games but they don't want to save to buy them, they just want me to fork out the money.. Well I am not going to, if they want something they can save until they can buy it with there own money.

I bought them jars they could decorate. Any money they get from birthdays, chores, Taylor (he always gives the kids money for the fun of it) and for what ever else they can put in their jars. They can watch there money grow and work towards buying something they worked hard for. They are very excited, they started off by helping me trim the bushes in the front yard. :)
