I am so excited for the girls! Today they receive their very first paycheck! Saturday we had a basic budgeting class. I made them a budget and they have to follow it… they have to write down everything they spend and we’ll evaluate it at the end of the month. It just makes me proud of them that they have worked hard and are finally going to know what it feels like to support their family.
They will start paying all the milk and diapers for their baby, saving $25/month, paying towards food, paying towards medical things like doctor visits and medicine, tithing, paying for transportation, and then they’ll have $15/month for things that they want to buy. Honestly I think they’ll be walking more now that transportation comes out of their own money :)
Thinking for the future… they can rent a room for them and their baby for $75/month. So if they live with us even just another year and a half… they will have saved up $450 to be able to put towards a new living arrangement. So I’m just proud of them and this big step that we are taking towards helping them in the future.
