i'm trying to think back to when i was a kid. my first job was delivering papers and i would have been 10 or 11 years old. i'm naturally a 'saver' so my dad went with me to the bank and i opened up a savings account. pretty much all the $ i made just went in there so when i really really wanted something i had the funds to get it (oh how i longed for those sales on lego!!). i know my parents provided everything we needed, but it was the early 80s so things were definitely tight in ontario at the time. if i wanted something 'extra' for myself i had to get my own money to buy it.

Tried to find that story about the kids who got shut down. Maybe it was a Facebook post from some Kelowna friends. If its not a policy then that would be even better, especially accounting and figuring out how much lemons and cups and such things cost.
I am trying to carefully straddle the line between motivating him and keeping him semi-responsible. He knows enough that if he blows it all, he won't have enough to buy something he wants. I guess my thing is, if it's his money should I be dictating what he does? I don't really want to do that, yet I also don't want him buying random crap.
I did enact a policy though on candy. We will never buy candy, so their supply depends entirely what they can get during Halloween.
