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?

Our oldest is only 4 years old but when there is a flea market or a street market we give him some money he can use to buy stuff. This way he learns that he can’t buy everything he sees and has to set priorities.
