Can't you remember when you got your first job and you had all these things going through your mind of what you were going to buy with your paycheck. Mine was usually clothes. I wish I would have put more into a savings account but I can't go back so I will think back to all the clothes I bought and remember the happiness I got from them.
TJ has been working hard at a bike shop since last Thanksgiving. He has really enjoyed it and has learned alot. I keep telling him he will be the bike fixer on his mission and he just gives me a weird look like I am crazy. At the beginning of the year he saved up enough to buy a mountain bike that he wanted really bad. Then he saved up for this beauty. A bike that he can use for jumping and tricks. Luckily for him he gets a big discount. He ordered it 6 weeks ago and has been antsy ever since waiting for it to come it. Yesterday he got the call that it had arrived. He could not wait to get to the shop so he could put it together. When I got home from my taxi driving getting the other kids from school, TJ was practicing his piano (I knew something was up). He had his room clean and was waiting to hear what his chore was so he could get it done and get to the bike shop. I really could have milked alot more chores out of him if I wanted but I didn't. I am glad that when he puts his mind to something he wants that he is willing to save for it and buy it. He turns 16 in September so I bet a car will be on his list very soon.
