Here's how it works:

- At the beginning of each week, certain amount of credits is added to their basket. Have kids record their income in their booklet.
- During the week, if the assigned chores are not done properly for that day, they lose the credits for the chores. The number of credits left in the basket by the end of the week is their actual earnings for the past week.
- If the kids need to buy something, have them check the dictionary and write down the items names with the costs in their booklet in both Chinese Mandarin (with pinyin) and English (may add special symbols for different types of spending) and show them to the parents.
- If approved, they can cash out their credits for buying the items.
