[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to be horrified at the idea of spending money in Roblox but when I said DS couldn’t spend his money on that, he figured he’d spend it on other things he likes: ice cream, root beer, candy bars…

He does “invest” half of it, and some on books, but I’d prefer he spend the balance on Roblox instead of candy bars. [/quote]

We have a fairly lenient policy on allowances and let our kids spend money on other games, but not on Roblox because there are so many issues with scams and hacks in that game, not to mention Roblox’s shady practice of not reviewing user created items for trademark violations before allowing them to be posted in the store, and then later pulling the items from everyone once they discover the IP violation without reimbursing kids who spent Robux on the item in the meantime,  in our view, it’s an opportunity to teach our kids that while it’s fine to spend extra money on frivolous items, you should look into what you’re spending your money on so you don’t waste it.  Its the same concept as looking at reviews before buying something on Amazon to make sure that great deal isn’t actually a flimsy piece of garbage 6at will break right away.[/quote]
