Jessica Roderick just handed each of her kids $750 for back-to-school shopping, and the internet can’t decide if it's good parenting or not.
Her allowance system isn’t about spoiling her children, though. In a TikTok video, the Tampa, Florida mom shows that it’s about teaching them that money runs out, choices have consequences, and budgeting beats asking for more. While parents debate whether $750 is too much or too little, Roderick is running a real-world experiment in financial literacy.
