Learning the value of a dollar.

We have taught and encouraged our kids to work for money, and learn to save it, as well as share it.
We have a deal with them that if they save money for a car we will match what they save up to $2500 when they are 16 to get their first wheels. All my kids have done a good job at this. Well, two out of three. Their is always the oldest, who will be the death of me, who has spent all his money on amplifiers, but more on that at another time. He is 16 and has not saved for a car.
Tough luck,right? Go get a job!
No, no, no, a friend of his won a car. She is not 16 so she gave it to him! It's a junker, so I said OK. When you are learning the "value of a dollar" don't knock "FREE".

Ok, let the "your making a mistake" comments begin...go ahead...
