Good Parenting? Georgia Mom Charges Her Daughter Rent To Show Her Daughter What Life's Gonna Be Like!
A Georgia mom says it’s never too early to teach children the value of money, which is why she is “charging†her 5-year-old daughter for rent, food and utilities.
In a viral Facebook post, Essence Evans from Atlanta said that she makes her daughter pay household bills from her allowance.
“I MAKE MY 5-YEAR-OLD PAY RENT. Every week she gets $7 dollars in allowance,†she wrote. “But I explained to her that in the real world most people spend most of their paycheck on bills with little to spend on themselves.â€
vans explained that she “charges†her daughter $5 a week - $1 for rent, water, electricity, cable and food each.
“The other $2 she gets to save or do what she wants with,†Evans added.
As for the $5, Evans said she is putting it in a savings account that her daughter will have access to when she turns 18. Posted by Ghost
