Mom Explains Finances to Daughter, Sparks Outrage

In a world where financial literacy is often overlooked, one mom decided to give her 12-year-old daughter, Karlie, a crash course in household finances. However, not everyone agrees with her approach. After her husband lost his job in aviation and took up a lower-paying position as a lorry driver, the family had to make some tough choices. When faced with the decision between a school trip and a birthday celebration, Karlie’s mom decided to sit her down and explain the family’s financial situation. But was this the right move? ‍♀️
