I opened an account for all my children and they are responsible of buying their needed things. They can keep in budget or go over board it's up to them, but they are not given any acceptions if they run out of spending money.<br />It worked for me......and for them.<br />It made them much more responsible and aware of the worth of the things they buy. <br />They even treated me to a gift or dinner in a good restaurant every now and then :)Amalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3443681463109247029.post-9519507372722238352011-09-19T08:43:13.988+03:002011-09-19T08:43:13.988+03:00Hi Samar,
