the new system

So my mom and I came up with new rules of the house for me (that to be honest my dad doesn't technically agree to). Here it is:

1. I need to keep my room clean at ALL times
2. I need to keep my bathroom clean at ALL times
3. I need to either prepare or clean up after every meal in the house
4. I need to get everything I need myself
5. I need to take out the garbage every Tuesday night, and bring it back in every Wednesday night, and when the garbage in the kitchen is full after dinner, I need to empty it
6. Everything I am done using needs to be thrown away or put back where it belongs
7. My grades must always be at a "B" or higher

If I break one of the rules, I get a strike. If I get three strikes, I get my phone, computer, and TV privileges taken away for a week. I can deduct a strike by doing an extra chore. Strikes can only be taken away before I reached the three strike limit. If I go a week without getting any strikes, I get a "coupon". These coupons can either be traded in for money or traded in to deduct a strike. If I save up my coupons I can use them to go places with friends, like the movies, or a nice diner, or the city, or a show, etc. The cool part is that once a coupon is given to me, they can't be taken back.

I happen to like this system, even thought it's gonna be tough to follow all the rules. Hopefully it'll work because I don't want to lose my phone, computer, and TV AGAIN.

So wish me luck!
