Although i think you’re right, you too where once a kid.
And. Tell me. What did you do with your money back then? Everything you bought was well thought out? You still use day to day everything you bought back then? Or where you just a child and did you buy candy, fireworks, some comics, that game console you sold 2 years later for not even half the price, that cheap rc car which broke after 1 day?
Its a slippery slope. Just because something doesn’t have value to you does not mean the same applies to someone else.
Stuff like this can give kids a certain social standing in the brutal world of the classroom. That’s something to consider also, group pressure, wanting to fit in. The need to be part of the group.
Allowance is a learning experience. My son did the same, for years bought only fortnite skins with his allowance. Like you i warned him against it. But i never forbid it. He’s 14 now and regrets it.
He doesn’t buy fortnite skins anymore. That’s the end goal, isn’t it? To learn and move on?
