Travis had to clean out his car on Saturday and I was out being a good little elf, so he let Alex putz around in the car while he cleaned. Alex made out great on the deal. Travis always has a ton of loose change in his car. And when Alex is putzing around in there, he usually comes back in the house with a pocket full of money. Since Trav's new car doesn't have a tape deck, all of the pirated booty made the journey out of the car.
I was home when they were going through his treasurers from the car. They had everything laid out on the coffee table and were separating coins from paper clips from gum wrappers. After everything was sorted, I overheard this:
Travis: Should we get your piggy bank from your room and put this money in it?
Alex: Yep! So I can buy KitKats!
Step 1 to successful money management: Set reasonable goals. Done and done.
