When It comes to what your teen wants, you nomaly know money is the first go to. This can get very irritating and put pressure on you and your bills. So what should we do? Work longer hour. No because that's to much time away from the teen and gives them more opportunity to Adventure Off. Do we give them everything they ask for? Well this can be a problem for the future. Being depeneed on the parents and not themselves, will make a teen lazy. They would rather be watching TV or playing games on the phone.
Good Habits Creates Good Opportunities
Talking with your teen also creates opportunity for you to teach them how to operate as a citizen in this Society. Something as simple as staying on top of them making sure they brush their teeth, reminding them they don't want bad breath when they talk to someone. Will put them on the path to adult hood with wisdom of dental hygiene.
This is the best way in my opinion to start teaching your child responsibility, so when it's time to count money they can know how to buget.

The Right Way to Give Kids an Allowance
The concept of an allowance is evolving. Today, 70% of kids get one, says T. Rowe Price, up from 47% in 2013. While many parents use this device to reward children for doing their everyday chores, many of the moms and dads I’ve spoken with say they prefer to use the weekly dole as a teaching tool—a way to help their offspring learn about budgeting, trade-offs, and critical thinking about money.
What’s the best way to accomplish that? Try these tactics.
Reward Extra Effort Only
Don’t tie regular chores to the allowance, says Beth Kobliner, author of the forthcoming book Make Your Kid a Money Genius (Even If You’re Not). You want your child to understand that being part of a family requires doing some tasks for which you will not be compensated—say, stacking the dishwasher and keeping your room clean.
You can, however, give a bonus for odd jobs above and beyond expectations, as Johnson has done. “This instills the critical linkage between work and money,” says Bill Dwight, founder and CEO of online family banking service FamZoo.
Make it a Budgeting Exercise
Some experts recommend giving $1 a week for each year of age, so a 10-year-old would get $10. Or, work out what you expect them to pay for—say, snacks at school or new videogames—and figure the right amount from there. Then, as your child gets older, have her start covering larger purchases you’d normally make, says Kobliner. You might, for example, let a teen manage the $300 you’ve budgeted for back-to-school clothes. If your kid spends his funds too fast, leaving himself no money for gas, he’ll be reminded each time he takes the bus to school the rest of the week. “Let them experience the consequences,” says Dwight. “No bailouts.”
