It’s official…Jake made more money in the last 4 days than I did in the last 5 years combined.  He made a grand total of $353!!  He was so stinkin’ cute out there on that driving range.  Brian talked him into bringing his own bucket so he could be one step ahead of the other range workers.  He was even asking us to wake him up earlier each day so he could be the first one out there.

Working hard in the early morning dew…

It must have worked because he got lot’s of tips and Brian received many comments that he was a really great kid out there.  Way to go Jake…love your work ethic and love your drive and determination.  Keep it up buddy, those qualities will take you far in life, I promise!

Day 1 $85

Day 2 $106

Day 3 $113 and Day 4 $49 (he was not originally scheduled to work on Saturday but when he realized his earning potential he decided to work a couple more hours).  Greg was giving him an aggressive goal of $500…sorry Greg, we came up short on that.  How about next time we keep it realistic. 😉

Grand total of $353

And the best news of the week is Jake opened his first Savings Account!!  You have to know Jake to understand the magnitude of this accomplishment…this guy has not proved to be a “saver” so far in his 10 years of life.  In fact, he decided to spend a ridiculous amount of money on these new soccer cleats recently…

He is so proud of these cleats, I catch him looking them over in great detail sometimes…so cute!  They are super shiny and metallic on the bottom which will likely be dull by the end of the season by some major stellar soccer moves (right Jake!?).

Drew was inspired by his brother and opened his 1st savings account too!  He is good about saving his money and had some mowing cash in his wallet and miscellaneous birthday/holiday money which was enough to get an account too.  I’m so happy you are learning the importance of saving money!  Keep up the great work boys!

Look how cute you are holding your little account booklets!!
