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
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.
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.
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
