My Little Entrepreneur

Anna was approached the other day and was asked to do some work. Her first little paying job: picking up pine cones that have fallen into the yard. The man is the owner of the property I pet sit for. She was so excited to get her first paycheck. Counted it out herself and made immediate plans on how to spend it. She even tried to buy my dinner tonight with it. 

I smile though, recalling our conversation a few hours ago. 

We talked about how for every $10 she gets, she needs to put $1 into the Tithe envelope for the church, $1 into the Save envelope to go to the bank and the rest can go into the Spend envelope for her to do whatever she wants with. 

She looked at me and said, "Mama, can I put $2 in the Save?"

"Yes, Sweetie. And do you want to put $2 in the Tithe too?"

"Yes."

How proud a Mama is when her child makes wise decisions all on her own. 

She did say, too, at the start of the second day of "work" that she didn't want to pick up pine cones. She didn't like it. But she wanted the money so she was going to do it anyway.... lol
