I had the kids start a Wish Book. They always come up to me asking for things they see in ads or on tv. I wanted them to start looking at all the things they ask me for and see how much it all costs. Then they can really look at it and see what is worth buying when they are able to buy new things.

So we created the Wish Book. It is just a notebook that they can write down what they would like to get. They have pages for themselves individually and pages for if it is something they all want and agree upon. They also have to look it up online or in an ad and write down how much it costs. I think this will also help the girls see more about how money works. Plus they will have to learn how to decide what is more important and that you can not always get what you want.

James had already promised them each around $200 to spend any way they want when we get our tax return so I thought this would be a good time to do something like this. I wanted them to really think about what they wanted to spend their money on. I am actually trying to get them to realise that it would be better to put the money all together and get a big thing to share but who knows what will happen. Hopefully with them having the book they will at least not spend it all on candy and stupid stuff. LOL
