I'm Mom, right?

That's:

M-ade
O-f
M-oney

According to 13-year old daughter.

:roll:

(Wish it were so!)

Sounds about right for a 13-year-old! They get frugal if you give them their own funds (earned, of course!) and let them buy their own clothes. We went from Hollister to Ross in one short year!

According to 13-year old daughter.
----------------------------------------------
When I wound up a single mother of two little girls, I would set them down and explain the money math.
"I get this much money every month".
Sounds of joyful greed from girls.
"We have to pay this much for rent".
Groans from girls.
"We have to pay this much for utilities".
Groans.
"We have to pay this for insurance on the car".
Groans.
"We have this much left each month".
Sounds of muted joy from girls.
"But we have to pay this much for gas for the car
and this much for food and this much to buy new
clothes and shoes and dog food".
Groans from girls, and fast finger movement as
they add up the totals.

After this, they did not think of dear old Mom as a
money machine. But when we went shopping with
coupons, they got to keep the amount they saved
with the coupons, only if it was stuff we liked and
often used. They both grew up very aware of what
money really bought. And got jobs as soon as they
were old enough.

Oh boy and she is only 13 he he your in for it when she gets older :)
My neighborhood was just rezoned and my middle daughter now has to go to another school. I LOVE this school they are doing the Junior Achievement Financial guide the kids get to tour a facility that will assign them a job, marriage / kids ect they have to work through a work book. You must be doing something good mom she has a great sense of humor!!

LMBO I think they all think like that :roll:

And your point is (rofl). Time she start earning and then they get the picture. Baby sitting classes here she comes!!

LOL, I dont think they outgrow that til they get their own job!

sounds like you need to set your daughter straight - quickly! They'll just keep coming back for more if you don't.
