read this quote again and please tell me a light bulb turned on in your head.
you getting the lesson now?
my wife, my son and i all sat down and talked. so the deal was made with the understanding he was going to the mall. he never made it to the mall so we split things up. we figured he should have spent about 20 at the movies. since he didn't i gave him 20 bucks. so now he has 75. my wife says it's now gonna be her job to keep him from spending it.
i offered him more money to help me in the yard and he said "no, i'm cool for now".
he's so damn adorable.

If you put your money in a good CD, it earns good money...but you can't spend it....so you earn money...by not spending money....what a fucking concept.

I learned how to budget and save because my parents wouldn't give me SHIT so I had to multiply my money by playing with flowers
But I think that was a COOL ASS IDEA.
You're mad about the amount...
If it had only been $20 he had been given originally...Would you feel better?
Exactly, if you've got some money, and no plan to spend it, and a kid in front of you that could learn something from it...There you go
It does teach something. He learned to be thrifty as shit. I bet he tries to spend $3 at a time FOREVER now.
COULD be taught another way...
But the money is there, obviously not FOR anything else...
So WHY NOT...
And OBVIOUSLY he has SOME IDEA of who his son is...OR HE WOULDN'T GIVE HIM $54 DOLLARS TO PLAY WITH
i would be tickled fucking pink if it only cost me $108 to teach my kid a money lesson...Urca, the kid doesn't spend money=the kid gets more money, uhhhh i think thats a pretty good lesson on saving and prioritizing right there...that kid was watching every penny he spent tonight, i promise. thats genius fdd
That would have been crazy, when I was first reading I didn't think he would come back with more at allcome home with 80 bucks.
get all his friends to pool in their cash.
so many ways this could go.
Not "Short Term" now he wants to spend less to have more...Good lesson
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOLhe just walked in the door, ....
... he has 55 dollars.
I'm confused here... ...

Not only would I not spend any of my $54 I would be hustling to try and earn more money. I would show up back home with like $80 for you to double.
Seriously though, that money is worth double if he waits until this evening. I can hardly bring myself to buy popcorn and drinks at the movie theater because they are so expensive at regular price; I get it about once every two years for special occasions. I don't think I could enjoy a movie or movie theater food knowing I was paying double for it.

Awesome!i'm just sitting here, giggling.
he had 4 dollars in his wallet already. they went in during matinee hours and stayed for 2 movies. his friends insisted on paying for everything. he only spent 3 dollars of his own money. i am going to be a man of my word and give him 54 dollars.
i love my son.
Urca, seriously, this is some common parenting here. Probably more common than not. And when you call other peoples parenting "retarded", well that is offensive on several levels.

the mall is lame anyways! these week long vacays from school huh? parents worst nightmare.though he never did go to the mall.
maybe i'll just let him keep the 55 he already has. he has this next week off from school for the holiday. he can work in the yard with me for the other 54.
you the man fdd.
Real question: is he pinching from your stash?
