He's been wanting a dog for ages and I keep telling him we can't have one until we can get a house with a garden. So today he announced that rather than saving up his pocket money for Mario Kart for his ds, he's decided to save the money to help me pay extra on the mortgage so we can get a new house quicker :eek: :eek: :T :T Bless him, he's only 6, has no idea what a mortgage even is, but hey, its good to start 'em young :rotfl:
That's really sweet BB. We have a garden but couldn't leave a dog alone all day so I always said if I won the lottery... on the last occasion I bought a ticket I nearly got a tenner and was all excited and DS thought this meant he was getting a dog! Yes, a tenner would do it:rolleyes:...Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Glad BB is hoping to help his mummy!!!
I think its important we teach our kids about money, TBH I learnt a lot after joining here but I am glad I good with money now because with all my recent stresses its helped me to feel like I have some control! My ex was always cruddy with money, am hoping any future partners will be more aware.
I should try and date a MSER :rotfl:Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month0 -
Ah that is so sweet of your DS; my DS2 is only 4 but talks about money and mortgages as if he is 40 :rotfl:People must think we brainwash him in not spending money but paying off the debts instead.
