Hahaha!!
You did the right thing. I set my son up with an account too and told him, "One day this will be worth a new car." He said, "I don't need a car."
They look at me and say:
"Dad, brain again?"
"Dad's on that B... lurt thing."
This is not the generation of making lemonade stands and cutting the grass to earn a few bucks. This is the generation of: "I don't need anything. My dad will take care of it."
My kids are 14 and 10 but they are not interested at all in social media or in making money. They like build stuff on Minecraft and make designs on paper and sing and make comedy but only for themselves. My youngest son makes a movie a day but he said to me, "These videos belong to me. I will choose when and where I want to share them." They are sitting on a gold mine. I see it like Joseph discovering that there are seven years of plenty and they will be followed by seven years of famine. It doesn't take a genius to follow the pattern. Money is not going to be what it used to be.
Yeah… they don’t need money until they need money to go for pizza with their friends. At least I got them to pick some apples and sell a few bushels this summer. They will climb a 12 foot ladder and risk their lives to sell a $20 bushel of apples but won’t post a photo with a short story to ProofofBrain… when I showed that my Blurt was worth $ 50,000 yesterday they couldn’t care less.
