I forgot to post the value of the tally marks. The oldest (10 year old) got .10 and the two younger (7 and 3 1/2) got .05. The same amounts were deducted for bad behavior or buying extra media time.
When buying back toys that didn't get put away was involved, each toy was worth .05 or groups of toys like the Lego or car bin was $.50-$1.00. Sometimes the boys would pull their money together and buy back a family toy or even buy toys for each other so it would not get donated. It also helped them decide if they really wanted a toy. There were times it wasn't even worth a nickle to get it back and they would say, "you can sell it or give it to the DI."
