The gift was given to the child, and they should get the benefit - either by purchasing a toy or as an investment they can use in the future. If you put me in a room filled with circus peanuts, I'd be tempted, though. .-= kosmo @ The Casual Observer´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheCasualObserver/~3/4cQ_poRBgyc/" rel="nofollow">Phishing in the Dark</a> =-.

Of course, if the child is only 2 years old then the amount of financial knowledge they will absorb will probably be minimal but I think that even splitting a $20 up into 20 $1 bills and then trying to make it into a visual object lesson about "if we spend all 20 bills on a new toy now then when we want to buy a new toy next month then we won't have any money left but if we save 10 and spend 10 now then we can have money for later, what do you think?" .-= Credit Card Chaser´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.creditcardchaser.com/annual-fees-are-stealthily-getting-tacked-on-to-many-existing-cards/" rel="nofollow">Annual Fees are Stealthily Getting Tacked on to Many Existing Cards</a> =-.
