My mother did the opposite. I got my birthday money and she let me blow it on whatever I wanted. I immediately realized how quickly your new found wealth can vanish, and how little it can get you if you don’t think it through. It was a harsh way to learn financial responsibility.
Thanks Mom

It’s weird knowing that when my mom did this she actually put it in my savings account and didn’t spend it on something.
I needed shoes for school, but I really wanted the super Mario light up ones, I had to use my saving for the upgrade.
Sorry to the people who didn’t have parents that taught and practiced financial literacy.
