May of 2018, Tatum started receiving allowance. We started with $5/week when she was 5. She divided it up into GIVE, SAVE, SPEND.
Well, now she is 7, and we decided it was time to open a child savings account. The Hay fam headed over to Bank of America for our appointment. We met with a guy named Nick, and he and Tatum hit it off. She talked his ear off. Apparently, he has an 8-year old sister, so he had no problem chatting away with her.
She brought in her SAVE envelope. (with Dino of course)

She puts in about $1/week, so how much do you think she has saved up?

That’s right: She’s saved $63 + $16 in $2 (which we did not deposit) + $50 from Doug’s mom from Christmas. Altogether:
$113.

So exciting! Let’s continue to be diligent in our saving, Tatum. So proud of your efforts.
