When we bought our house 3 years ago, there was a mural of monster trucks in what is now David's bedroom. As a 3-year-old, he thought it was pretty nifty, and we left it up. About 15 months later, he started mentioning on occasion that he didn't want the trucks on his wall anymore; he wanted dinosaurs. He has gradually increased the frequency of his request over the past couple years, but it hasn't been high on the home-improvement-priorities list. More like rock bottom.
Last night David emerged an hour post-bedtime with a very urgent request to get rid of the trucks. Wanting to start instilling financial awareness in him, I told him, "Sweetie, we just don't have money for that right now." Today he retrieved $0.85 from his piggy bank and said, "Here Mom, you can use this to pay for the paint."

Seriously let me know if you want my help. Illustration was my major! Love it! I'm always looking for ways to keep it up! Plus, I'm free. You'd just have to watch the little ones. haha
