My boys each have a "My Giving Bank" which has three banks in one; A bank for saving, a bank for tithing, and a bank for spending. We have always had the boys on the 10 10 80 plan (10% tithing 10% saving and 80% spending), yet the boys are really good about hanging onto their money.
they'd Recently they decided like to find out how much they have. So my wife helped them empty out their spending cash along with their tithe moneys. They were excited to take the money to church and give it. Meanwhile my wife took their spending money to the bank and had it counted up. When they added the money from their banks with the dollars they keep on hand, they had $221 and some change.
They're good about pooling money to get something cool, so once they realized they had so much money they decided to ask for a game console. I had heard good things about the Wii and talked to them about it.... since they've never seen one, they asked if they could try one out. I arranged a demo for them - Thanks John!
So now the hunt is on... my first instinct was to head to eBay, but they very first console I saw went for a hundred more than I should be able to buy it for.
Next stop PriceGrabber...
Hmmm still way to high....
Every store is out of stock, and every online store has them set to unavailable (can't even order and wait). Any tips on how to get one of these things would be welcome!
