Ellie and Emma have saved every penny for 2 Christmases and Birthdays to buy a laptop. During the tax-free weekend last month, they went into Peachmac with all their pennies to buy a used laptop. They could afford the lesser one, but after Ellie explained all that she wanted to do with it, the tech said, I'd save up for the macbook pro ($1,300.00). The used ones were around a thousand. The girls talked it over and decided to be patient and keep saving. I was proud of them to be disciplined and wait until they could afford what they really wanted! A few weeks later, Suzanne happened to text me that her son, Brian, was selling his macbook pro because he needed something else for his work. She had no idea that it was what the girls had been saving for. We got it for $500.00! (Less than the lesser laptop that they passed up!) Plus, he has all the extra's Ellie wanted to buy for video editing. She was very specific about the list that she wanted to add once they got the laptop and it was already added... and more. (saved them a lot of money!)
