[quote=Anonymous]For items that are expensive and hold value (like a north face jacket or CG coat) I would use this as a moment to teach/ reinforce the value of money and budgets. She should consign or sell those big ticket items. IMO it is an irresponsible use of money to throw very expensive items away. Who paid for those coats? Even if they are gifts does she understand how much the items cost? How many hours of babysitting or a retail job would be required to buy one? If this is a lesson on helping the honesless then she can resell the coats and give the money to a shelter. It is also ok to keep the money. You can consign or sell on fb yard sales, etc. When my DD decided she didn’t want any of her American girl dolls anymore, even though she had begged for so many, we sold them on our neighborhood listserv and she put that money towards a big ticket item she had been wanting. Holding that cash in her hand seemed to drill in some values of money. [/quote]
