For a while Camden has been saving his money. It seemed to changed each week what it was for. He was able to sell a few of his more pricy Pops last summer and didn't spend most of it. Earlier this year, one of his cousins got an Oculus. After trying that out, he was hooked, he was now saving for that. For a kid who doesn't have a job, it took a while to get all of the money. After months and months and months of begging for us to put two more of his higher dollar Pops up. I caved and put them up on a site and he got the last half of the money from that. I went to Target to get it and put it on his bed for him to see after school. This was after talking to him a few times to make sure that he really wants to spend this much money on one thing. All of the kids love it and it is played quite often. So far he loves it, and hopefully he stays that way.
Beck on the other hand has spent most of the money that he has made the last year. All except a chunk. He really wanted to finally open a bank account and we finally did that. He loved leaving the bank with his own debit card and his own money. We showed him how to check his balance and told him he is responsible now for all of his money. We did go to Target so he could buy something. He got a candy and said the off brand was just as good and only $1 so it's better. Now that it's his money he wants to show bargains.
