[quote=Anonymous]I have two girls a tween and a teen, I will occasionally pay for a manicure or pedicure perhaps 2-3x per year. If she wants it any other time she has to earn money to pay for it (and by earn I mean outside the home like babysitting or selling some of the stuff she no longer wears/enjoys, she does not get an allowance or money for doing household chores). Same goes for hair color, it is in her own dime or it becomes a birthday or Christmas gift. Since those are the parameters she does not ask for it as she has found other things she wants to spend her money on or things she wants for gift giving occasions. Same goes for her cell phone, we pay for the monthly service and the first one but if she wants a new one she has to pay half. This motivates her to keep it in good condition (always has a case and a screen protector on, always aware of where it is etc).  for resale to offset the cost of her half of the phone. One daughter earned money by selling clothes and unwanted toys/games, the other earned money by babysitting.

I am also that parent who makes them save some money every year for college or future expenses. There is always going to be a shiny new thing and we are doing our best to build in a mentality of delayed gratification and you have to earn it. [/quote]
