    Money Management

    • A 9-year-old boy receives a $5 weekly allowance, but often wants to buy expensive things.
    • His parents don't think a $9 ball is a good use of his money, and suggest a $4 ball instead, better suited for indoor play.
    • The boy also wants a drone, but his parents are against it due to their apartment living situation, with no outdoor play opportunities.
    • His parents want him to make smart spending choices, but he wants the freedom to spend his money as he wishes.
    • His dad has to give consent before buying anything, as he views his son as irresponsible with money.

    Financial Goals

    • The boy needs to learn to prioritize wants and needs with his limited allowance.
    • He must consider the value and suitability of items before making a purchase decision.

    Parental Concerns
