With five kids it seems like I always had a child who needed help. Or whose kids needed help. As as result if I was lucky to be able to keep five dollars in a savings account, and I thought I was doing great. So starting with this past Christmas, when I received a $100 bill, it went right into my savings account and the only person who knew it was the one who gave it to me. Since then Son #2 stops by on a good night and will give me $10 or $20 of his tip money. That goes right into the savings account immediately.
Isn't it ever parent's wish to be able to leave their kids something? Well, I am no different. Then I got to thinking.
"The kids are the ones who have needed it all these years. Now it is your turn." So I built it up enough to get my Shark Steamer and my Mini Pie Maker. Two items I
wanted, but did not need. And I still have a balance bigger than I have ever had. And when it comes my time to go, if there is anything left for them to fight over, good luck to them. If not, so be it. Make it on your own now kids. I have done my job.
