Now that Juniper is three, she has started getting a weekly allowance of $3.00. $0.50 is for saving; $0.50 is for sharing (donating); and the remaining $2.00 is for spending. So far, I think Juniper has lost more than half of her spending money. We're working with her to come up with a system that will allow her to access her money, but still have a specific special place to keep it where it won't get lost.
For her very first purchase, we took her to the used comic shop. I was able to talk her out of "Spiderman Loves Mary Jane" and steer her back to actual superhero comics, but unfortunately she didn't take the bait on "Her-oes: the Women of Marvel."
She was very proud and excited to make the actual transaction. (And, thankfully, the salesperson was very nice and there wasn't anyone else waiting.)
