Buying dumb things using allowance money
My son, who is 8, is getting an allowanca and has accumulated some
money. Now he wants to buy something that is, in my opinion, a complete ripoff, which is a pack of "Club Penguin Trading cards". He wants me to buy them online and he would repay me in cash. The deal is $49 for a pack of 50 cards. (!!!!!!!!!!!) My first instinct was to just refuse to do so, but now I am having my doubts. The cards are not really harmful (as would be if he asked me to buy cocaine for his money, for example), they are just a dumb way to spend money. But maybe this is his prerogative to do with his money as he sees fit, as long as no harm is done. On the other hand, if, say, he would want to participate in some kind of fraud, like a pyramid scheme, I would be right to refuse. These cards are just one step away from fraud, so maybe the refusal has merit. Thoughts? i i |
