It’s actually a WEANER pig. It’s a pig that has been weaned and is ready for a new home. They are about 50-60 pounds.

I also have a 17 year old that will be graduating high school this year and moving out in June. She has a very healthy savings account that only I can withdraw money from. It’s all hers when she turns 18. She has her own savings account with about $500 in it thats all hers to do what she wants with now, she’s the one that has funded it. She’s worked a part time job at the same job for over a year and a half. She has a car, pays for her own insurance and gas. She also buys the majority of her clothing. While I don’t agree with her blowing her money on clothes, my thinking here is she earned the money working she deserves a little fun now and then, even though she should be saving it for her future. She’ll learn the hard way, for some kids, learning the hard way, is the only thing that works.

What matters right now is that my 10 year old IS saving money. I can’t talk about what she’ll be like in her teenage years because she’s not a teenager. This money she has was earned from picking up cans, plastic bottles and glass as well as good report cards. I don’t know many 10 years olds that are that committed to earning money, let alone that committed to saving money. Hell, I don’t know many adults that manage to save that much money, regardless of what they were like as teenagers!

The fact is I don’t have a crystal ball to see what my 10 year old will be like as a teenager and even if I did, it shouldn’t stop me from praising her for saving up over $225 as a 10 year old and doing it all on her own, without any encouragement from me or her father. She is just amazing!
