then I must have been a genius at 9 because I got an overcharge of like $10 on my phone subscription at about that age and when my dad told me I was mortified at what I had just done
My parents would never tell us what the money situation is, which is both a curse and a blessing. They would just say there was no money for it so I didn’t understand the concept that well. Took high school to learn about balancing checkbooks and such to fully comprehend what they were saying.
I think parents should have a talk to their kids about finances in general though, not the nitty gritty, but understand how much goes into X to ensure Y. To find out the real value of a dollar in a more tangible way so they know, when mom and dad say they have $1K at the end of the month, that’s a hard cap, and they may soft cap it to keep savings for emergencies.
So what you’re telling me is that you should be lauded because you didn’t stumble on an financial edge case landmine as a kid but this child unfortunately did and that they deserved it? Got it.
Why
Because he couldn’t educate his child enough
That child is done for.
The child is 9 be realistic

How is this something you’d expect from a dad?
because it’s common sense that spending over 100k while earning 0 is not profitable
