[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to find another way to teach your kids about money besides being the odd ones out at camp without a treat. It's a hard age to say no. Do they get an allowance? Can you do the different banks for allowance: save, donate, spend? They need more than just the abstract "don't spend money on icecream and save for something bigger". I get that you don't want them spoiled and want them to be conscious of the idea that everything costs money and if you spend it on something now you won't have some for later but that's too complicated. Can you give them a weeks of ice cream money and say: you can either spend it on ice cream at camp or well combine yours and your siblings and some of mine and get "fill in the blank" at the end of the week/two weeks for everyone.
