My father's taken more or less the same approach... I keep complaining about not having money to buy a new computer... but I've technically got 4000€ in the stock market, that my dad manages... started out as 1500€ (all my pocket money from when I was young) and a 500€ gift to get the investment started, and that was 4-6 years ago... I think, my memory is hazy XS
reminds me I should look at the value now. It's been a year since I last checked XS
I thought about voting for GrantCoin, a crypto-based UBI platform, but I'm honestly not sure if they'll ever get going... they distribute the coins quarterly to those who've signed up... except it's been a month since the last quarterly payment was turned into a blogpost about them needing funding to keep the work going...
I've got 7600 GrantCoins bought for 2$, just in case they ever reach 1$ value XD
If they die out... maybe I can sell them as collector's items XS
Thanks !
Here's to hoping your kids grow up to one day check the total value of their wallet and notice they're millionaires ;)
That's the goal 😀
I want them to work a dead end job at least once to gain a healthy respect for it, but I don't want them to HAVE to.
Good parenting tip to avoid raising snobby rich kids : Don't tell the kids they have actual money... XD
That's part of it. They need to learn the value of money before they're given more than they can handle.

I leave that money be, as it's there for a REASON.
If I want a new computer, I bloody well better work to pay for it !
