OT: any suggestions for kids' banking or credit cards?
The boys are 14 and 15 and I'd like them to start to get some control over their "finances" and spending money. I'm thinking maybe a checking account with a debit card, possibly linked to Apple Pay. They seem to be pretty responsible with money, but I don't want to expose them to too much via their phone, since they share phones with friends often and... you know teenagers.
Any suggestions?
