When I saw how many things she'd circled I told her to guess how much it would be. She guessed, "$1000". We got the calculator out and found out that she really wasn't close. It was almost $2300! Sorry...NO! :-) She is saving up for some things, but she'll outgrow VED's before he earns that much money.

But she will be so proud that she did it herself and take very good care of the doll. <br /><br />And here is a website to save on very expensive doll clothes--for her future reference: www.dollclothesstore.com And it will be so worth it.

What a bonus that you get a clean bedroom and bathroom too! I remember working as a child (mowing our lawn) to save up money to buy a pair of binoculars. I still have them too.

My 9 year loves those dolls too. I think this may be put to use at our house! Thanks for sharing! What a great job you are doing in traing your child. My 9 year loves those dolls too.

I keep waiting for our children to wish for something that they don't have so that we can teach them to save for it. However, so far our children have accumulated "large" amounts of cash for birthdays and work and don't spend any of it.<br /><br />Either they don't know that they can actually purchase things with their money, are very content or we spoil them rotten! :) What a great way to teach a child the value of things.

But yea, she sounds very determined to get that doll. :) I shall cheer her on.<br /><br />But just curious, what doll costs 100$? That's a lot for a doll...well not really. One of my dolls (its a plush of a comic book zombie girl) cost me like...60$. HAHA awww poor kid. But yea, she sounds very determined to get that doll. :) I shall cheer her on.

I am such a push over I usually give in to the requests to advance the last $1 or $2 in exchange for a certain number of chores but always regret it. It is better to work for it first then get what you want. Awesome!
