Donating

I have written more than once about how our kids divide their earning into 4 categories - save, spend, invest, and donate. As they get close to $5 in the donate, we start to talk about what they could donate. For the first time, they made different choices. She wanted to donate books to kids who don't have any.

After some quick research, we found that Half Price Books was hosting a book drive. They were also matching so for every book donated, they would donate one of their books. She was able to buy 9 books, so a total of 18 were donated. She picked the books herself, paid, and then put them in the donation box. She also used some of her spend money to take home one book for herself. I am so proud that my kids give to others and understand they are lucky to have so many things that others don't have.
