Teenager help needed
24 Answers
I have a lovely 14 year old daughter who i absolutely worship. She's got a little job recently working 3 hours sat, sun and the odd eve...but never more than 9 hours a week.
Now she's earning good money. She works in a pub kitchen doing odds and sods prepping food, washing up etc and sometimes, her wages can be doubled from the tips that are handed out to staff by the owners. She brought home £70 the other week and most weeks gets £40-£50
I opened her a bank account and she has a debit card.
Now, should i, as her dad, interfere with what she does with her money because since she started work back in early August, she only has about £100 in her bank account.
I've tried advising her that she should try to save at least half her money but i don't know where it's going. She's not a smoker and i'd know if she was on anything else but i think she is just blowing it on rubbish and costa coffees for her and her mates.
Should i butt in or just let her get on with it...it would break my heart if she was just wasting £50 a week on nothing.
Thanks
