Want to Really Piss Your Kid Off?

Here’s a great way to piss your kid off!

Step 1. Offer to hold onto their money for them.

Step 2. Write down exactly how much they’ve given you to hold for them.

Step 3. Every time they ask for some of their money, charge them $1.50 for the convenience of having a portable bank.

Fun right? I mean how dare they get upset because you are charging them $1.50 for the convenience of having a portable bank. I mean you have to update their balance every time they make a withdrawal; don’t you deserve to be compensated for all of your hard work? How can they be so ungrateful?

Oh wait… most banks charge the same thing to their customers and they make billions doing it. So clearly the average American is just fine with these fees in the name of convenience. But what happens when banks start jacking up those fees? Will customers just sit idly by and take it? The sad thing is most of them probably will. I’m leaving my banks because of “stupid” fees and poor returns.

Step 4. Stop torturing your kid, waive the fees.

Step 5. Stop torturing yourself, do the same.
