[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Is my husband right? Do we have no say? Anyone think I can put a rule in place where I only give DC x dollars per week and the rest must go into savings instead of just the 15% we were making DC save? [/quote] Does your child have a car? Is he or she paying for insurance? Instead of taking all the money and putting him or her on an allowance, I would just work things so she doesn't have a ton of disposable income. Your child worked basically 9 to about 2 PM on Saturday, so 5 hours, plus the evening shift she picked up. Maybe 8 hours total? x what? $8 an hour? So maybe $64 gross, minus taxes... perhaps earned $50? Of that she spent $40 on fast food. At some point it will hit home that she's not really making a lot of money and she will take coffee from home etc. But let her get a few paychecks and learn that lesson. If she really IS making a ton of money, be sure she is paying for gas and insurance.[/quote]
