With wingnuts increasing interest in money and buying things we have incorporated a chore chart.  The top row is the chores he needs to do each day no matter what. The second row is the optional chores that he can get paid for at the end of the week if he completes all of the chores in the first row. If he does not do the chores in the first row but does the chores in the second row he will not get paid.

When he completes any chore he then puts the card in the jar.

The chores he does everyday are; pick up his toys, feed luna and brush his teeth. The optional, paid chores are; pick up trash outside (we don’t have a fence in the front yard so trash is always blowing into it.), walk luna and do a load of laundry (I still help him a bit with this one.).

Right now, I am still making him do the chores on the first row. I will continue to do this till he is in a habit and understands that he will not get paid for the other chores unless he does the mandatory ones.

We also took what he had already saved up and started a bank account for him.

I downloaded the cards from here.
