\nPocket money, savings, ponies, Muppets and nails \u2013 it\u2019s a minefield, especially when your audience is clueless, says Zoe WilliamsI\u2019m running a randomised controlled trial on pocket money with my own children: the oldest, eight, has the benefit of modern technology (more on this later), the youngest, six, relies on my remembering to pay her. In practice, this means the oldest gets \u00a310 a month and the youngest gets nothing. After a period of accumulation the youngest vents her outrage and gets a lump sum. She immediately loses it. Our main hope is that she mislays it somewhere in the house where it can reenter the slipstream of the family\u2019s economy.My findings are as follows: miniature bank accounts are brilliant, but not necessarily educational. I use Osper, which is an account for eight-pluses that comes with a card they can use in a cash machine or on the internet. I don\u2019t know if you can stick it behind the bar because we haven\u2019t tried it. I have a \u00a310 monthly standing order and can add one-off amounts online. I can also invite other people to put money on it, which I never do, because it\u2019s the financial equivalent of asking them to look at pictures of your child and wax lyrical about its cuteness. So far, Osper has taught the big \u2019un that money, with automating top-ups and nobody ever spending it, accumulates as effortlessly as wet leaves in a drain. It also taught him that getting money out of a cashpoint with his own pin is mind-bendingly exciting. Continue reading…
