~$5000 per year, which you would have likely spent anyway just giving them things, in order to hammer in solid financial literacy skills seems like a really good return on investment. Especially for the ADHD one - even if he can't or won't save like his brother I think you are immunizing him against the worst kind of financial ruin in the future.
Yes - I don’t buy them extra things through out the year. I also only top up their bus cards for public transport once every 3 or 4 months (sometimes they use their bus cards to pay for their friends) and if they run out of bus money, then they have to either walk, or top it up with their own money.
The ADHD kid walks.
