My biggest thing I wanted to save money for was my oldest sons car. He is an outstanding student, a hell of a kid and a all around good person. He was my rock when my hubby went to Iraq, he jumped in and took over some chores to help me out without me asking.....he was only 12 when Dad went to war. He has always been on the principals honor roll and even on Presidential honors. I wanted to get him a car, not a new one but something nice to start off his new chapter in his life when he turns 16 which is Feb 24th
Well last night I bought him a 94 Grand Am, Red, 5 speed....very nice condition. Even though I havent saved as much as my glove compartment says cause Im on the patch, I have saved in so many other ways. I had the money for the car and I bought it while he was at his job last night. This is gonna be harder than my quit to keep a secret til his bday in Feb. Right now its parked at a friends house til the big day. We are gonna put a big bow on it and shock him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant wait, he knows when I am hiding something so I hope I can keep this a secret!
Rewards come in different ways, this is a reward cause when I am one day older than I would have been if I wouldnt have quit smoking I can remember the day he got his first car.
