How are you all handling "allowance" in this day and age? (lemmy.ca)

I pretty much only use cash for buying things on FB marketplace, so the idea of giving my kids cash to teach them about responsible spending and value etc seems antiquated. But giving them a debit card seems too abstract. What are you all doing?

This is so steep at $6/mo

Yeah, that's a really steep price for what amounts to a special checking account. (And we're currently at like 20/mo for my kid, until it gets negotiated up, so that's a large chunk of that budget)
