[quote=Anonymous]I have high schoolers and I’m worried about this too. They have Apple Pay on their phones linked to my credit card. I’d like to cut it off in college. I talked to someone my age (late 40s) that happened to be in Florida during spring break for work, and he couldn’t believe that way the kids spent. Drinking fancy drinks at the pool bar all day, going out for nice sit down dinners, then getting dressed up for the club, all while staying at fancy hotels. Gone are the days of piling into a buddy’s van, staying 4 people deep in a cheap motel, and drinking Busch light all day. IMO, we’ve done a terrible job at managing our kids spending…as a society. In college I got a credit card with $1500 limit freshman year, maxed it out in a month, and then paid minimum payments the next 4 years while watching the balance grow. That was my lesson in frivolous spending. I say cut them off and let them learn on their own, while providing parental guidance of course.[/quote]
