Last week the Kohls flyer came and when you peeled off the percentage off sticker it had 30% as the lottery win.. Shane had been saying he needed to get some stylish clothes after Brian had picked up some pant/shirt for an event he had to go to.. I gave Shane a decent total I'D COVER FOR HIM and my Kohls credit card, well he missed that part of the conversation and thought I said that was the total He should spend.. and that the card was just in order to use the coupon not that it was a credit card.. oh brother. So day after day I kept after him about whether he had stopped at Kohls yet. Today as he was heading out the door to the fire store for some CPR stuff he needed , I caught him and said hey your going towards Kohls. And that's when he said it, "I don't want to spend that kind of money right now".............
Finally, the why, he hadn't followed through. So after I explained that the card was a credit card I had given him not like you use at the grocery store (a bit confusing I guess).. He came home with a bag of full and his first shop on his own. As he showed me what he had purchased of long, short sleeved shirts and one pair of black dockers. I suggested that he could also use a pair of dark brown pants like those, so he might head back and pick up that color.
So today was a lesson in when a college student and your parents offer you clothing money, take it. And that he saved in dollars vs what he paid for it all.. was an awesome economic stimulus you win on.
