Hard work pays off
Dad and Ember made a deal awhile back that if Ember earned half the money she needed for the cost of a laptop, Dad would pay the other half. She worked hard babysitting and selling handmade jewelry, and today because of a sale Dad happened to find, we discovered she had enough money. It was an unexpected surprise for Ember, who thought her dream of laptop ownership was at least a year away! She can't stand the fact that the battery is charging right now, she's anxious to boot it up and get started entertaining herself, but she is so very proud that she earned this herself. We are proud of her as well, to save up and pay cash for something you really want is a valuable lesson to learn at such a young age. Great job Ember!

It is awesome that she earned it so much faster than she expected.
I'm glad she had the opportunity to learn about saving and paying for something the first time. Debt is such a sad problem (granted, she is too young to have debt, but it is still great she is being taught).
