Money Talk Matters

What an interesting day the twins and I had. They asked me to take them to Bass Pro Shop to look at the fish and boats. I thought cool because I have not been in a really long time. So that was our first stop on our outing for today. I must say I thought I saw some fish that weighed more than me. Next was to walk on the different boats and see which one they liked the best.

Of course each one had a different boat they liked. I was good with any of them because of the relaxation that could take place for the entire family. Cody of course would want to be the driver. Hmmm – men! Erica liked the boat that had the lounging couch per se. I must say, it did look quite comfortable. I think we were there at least an hour.

Next stop, Target. I know quite the difference. You have to love kids. Before I share our target money lesson, let me say they had brought their allowance with them just in case they wanted to purchase something. They each knew what they had and had a specific item in mind to purchase. Alright, let the fun begin.

Our son is all about Thomas the Train. So he found this item he wanted and could not purchase it alone. Therefore between him and his sister, they could get it. She on the other hand found this “girly” set of Legos that they could purchase and both really enjoy. Here is part 1 of the lesson – The Thomas the Engine Lego had 19 pieces and it was $19.99 and the “Girly” set of Legos (they were pink) had 214 pieces and was $14.59. Initially, she agreed to purchase Thomas.

What do you think Mom said? This is going to be a 2 part or 3 part lesson because it is very important.
