This is a good tip. I used it in parenting.

I taught the children how many hours of work it would take to pay for things. They learned that well.

All are responsible adults and not in debt.

Excellent LPT 👍

I do the same, but use minimum wage and it blows their minds.

A corollary to this is to do a budget, figure out your weekly/monthly free spending money and figure out how many weeks/months of spending money you're blowing on said purchase.

Oh, that sounds like a good plan. 👍
