I pay 25¢ per year per boy. I also trible, double, or match (depending on their ages) what my boys will put in a savings account for a church mission or college (only!). It works out really well. 4 boys 'eh? Did you know that just over 6% of the families who have 4 children have all one gender? That's my family too!
