Yikes. What are you going to do when your child learns about compound interest?
The "Parents are untrustworthy and break promises" lesson sounds like a bad plan to me!
- jonheller 5y agoI thought starting him at an 8% interest wouldn't give him the motivation. After a few months we had a talk and he saw the power of compound interest based on these crazy numbers, and we've adjusted it downwards since then. Of course he was a bit disappointed but understood this was closer to the real world.
