Abby Hayes dreams of gliding on new rollerblades with purple wheels, but her savings plan keeps slipping away. Despite her determination and odd jobs, her spending habits threaten her goal. Can Abby overcome her financial hurdles and finally skate in style, or will her impulsive purchases keep her stuck in her sister's old gear? Follow Abby's journey as she learns the value of saving and the challenges of sticking to a plan. Will she find a way to achieve her dream, or will her desires always outpace her discipline?
