Teenage Boss
Teenager in charge?
Money issues are at the root of many family conflicts, from parents feeling their teenager’ s spending habits are excessive, to teens wanting more money for what they consider to be life’ s necessities. A typical 16-year-old spends a fortune every month. They are super-consumers, splashing their cash on snacks, clothes, games and socialising with friends. Should parents pay up, or should they set limits and encourage accountability? Would you dare to let your teenager take over the family finances? In Teenage Boss, we do just that. Under the guidance of a financial expert mentor, the teenager assumes responsibility for their whole family budget over the course of a month. The ultimate goal is to teach the teen( and their family) how to spend the money at hand in a sensible, balanced way.
