Trains

Zadik is obsessed with his train set these days.  He got a couple small sets for Christmas.  Since, then, he has added to his set almost every day.  Jenny and I started an incentive program where he earns money for doing chores or being good.  With that money, he can buy anything he wants.  He kept asking for train pieces, so we bought a big set and he is buying the pieces from us one at a time.  Most of them are 50 cents a piece.  He has to put an additional 20% into savings (10 cents), and then pay tithing on the total amount (6 cents).  So all told, if he earns 66 cents each day, he gets to buy a train piece.

This is a picture of what he has so far.  About half of it was earned.  He has around 20 pieces left to go, and then we will have to buy another set.
