[QUOTE="gottaloveem, post: 64120, member: 1953"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: CAmom</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> At the moment, because he's not quite 18, these are joint accounts under his and our names. I had planned to remove my husband and myself as joint account holders when he turns 18 and let him manage his own money, but I'm wondering about how wise that is. </div></div> I wouldn't give him total access to his money till he proves he can "work the program" at home. Although I agree with Janet that $200 isn't that much for him to blow, you don't want him to blow it on the wrong things. I'Tourette's Syndrome a tough one, because he will use the "I'm 18" card and, "it is my money" card. You can remind him that he is starting to earn back your trust and once you see he is a honest, reliable, non drug using young adult he can be in charge of his own money. If he is wanting it for car insurance or something like that, than it is a different story. [/QUOTE]
