Today I updated McKay's Chore Chart. (I have time for this because Grandma took both boys last night for a "sleepover"--yeah!)  I am trying to incorporate Dave Ramsey's plan for teaching kids about money.  If you click on the chart you'll be able to see it bigger.  So, the Wake-up and Bedtime Routines are just expected--part of being a Webb Family member.  But the other chores are commission based.  To start out, McKay can earn 5 cents per chore per day for the ones that he does that day.  Ramsey also included a "Fines" section in his plan (where a kid can have money deducted for bad behavior), but I don't want to focus on that with McKay to begin with.  I'd rather start out completely positive.  I hope to be better about paying him each week and then helping him divide his earnings between "Spending," "Savings," and "Giving" (tithing).  We may even open a little bank account for him--we'll see how it goes.  Feel free to check in and see how it's going if you're curious!


Cool. I think its a great idea.
