[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In high school I allow my teen to determine how to care for her hair and nails.  She pays for her own nail services through savings.  I pay for cuts, and she's had highlights or at home dye kits.

All complete fine for 14-18.  It's time to let them grow up a bit.  Nails and hair grow back.[/quote]

And when your teen wants or car or  goes to college but has no money for food and rent saved because they blew it all on salon services over the past 5 yrs are you going to swoop in and cover the cost or let your teen/young adult drop out, work for a while and accumulate some savings to cover these expenses?

I actually do have one in college.  I pay for his dorm, food plan, tuition, books & fees.  He's going to cover the cost of anything else.  I expect the same when my daughter is in college.  Who drops out of college because of a gel manicure?  In fact my teen daughter has purchased her own gel manicure kit so she can do them at home.

I don't expect my teens to save every single dollar.  Generally we have them save 50% of a pay check direct deposited into savings, 50% into checking/debit so they buy items, go out to dinner with friends (non-covid times), etc.

A reasonable compromise without trying to control every decision or dollar.  [/quote]
