[quote=Anonymous]I also stole dollar bills and quarters from my parents. I wanted money for snacks and sodas from the vending machine at school and I knew if I asked my mother she'd say it was unhealthy and not give me anything. So I took small amounts here and there. I never took more than $1 at a time and never stole anything else. I think my dad probably knew and said nothing (he and my mom didn't always see eye-to-eye on how strict to be with us). Try setting up an actual allowance system and see what happens. I agree with PP that $3 here and there is not enough--it was not enough when I was a kid and that was 20+ years ago. It accumulated so slowly that it never seemed worth it to bother earning and it taught me nothing about money management because it wasn't enough to manage. What, you're going to save $0.50, donate $0.50 to charity, and spend $2 on a bag of Famous Amos cookies? Or maybe if you save for half a year you can buy a sweatshirt! Yippee! [/quote]
