First Job

We have a rule that when the kids turn 12, they need to get a job of some sort to learn work ethic and the concept of money. Fieldin got his first weekly mowing job and is trying to find more clients. Each month he gives his client an invoice. This was his first invoice below. Next month he will be learning to create an invoice on a computer spreadsheet:)What did he do with his first payday? He bought a slushee and put the rest away to save. 

 

Happy Easter
