I guess it's what you mean by "fronting" him, but I would hope Wormius isn't thinking of charging him rent yet  |
Yeah, I suppose if he wants to buy a new toy or something, you could have him dip into his savings. But as far as clothes and whatnot, he's probably a little young to be paying for that stuff quite yet.
To me, the impact of saving would come later, when he's in his late teens and wants to by a car or a video game system or something, and you can say "well its a good thing I had you save all that money, because I wouldn't be buying it for you!"
Because at that time, he'll probably have a real part-time gig that actually pays for his clothes and movies and whatnot.
