[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 466680, member: 11847"] I'd say let her do it. If she has to learn the hard way, oh well... Just lay the rule ahead of time: if she blows her money, she cannot come to you for more. PERIOD. Saying no, would probably not bring anything positive. As far as "using" the money on the custodial account... all depends how much money there is, who put it there and for what purpose. If it is intended for college, a car or whatever big project. You have to protect it! If it is just a small amount of spending money: let her be in charge. Maybe explain that she is indeed old enough (mature enough?? maybe not....) and that it is time for her to learn about financial responsibility. Make yourself available as an adviser if she wants your advice at all. If she makes a mistake, ask her if she wants you to guide her next time. Hopefully that "unwelcomed initiative" from the therapist will not turn into a disaster... Good luck! [/QUOTE]
