I gave Lea some money to buy a dress for homecoming at the mall, she's 13 and she did pretty well buying her dress, 2 pairs of shoes, jewelry, a skirt and 2 shirts and a sweater all for $110. She still has $20 left to buy a purse and accessories too. She said she could hear me saying to shop frugally in her head. Thats pretty good to walk away with all that, plus $5 in dinner for her and her friend, to still have money left with receipts and be 13 shopping alone at the MALL with her friend. I think I'm raising her right!
