Summary

What would happen if you put your kids in TOTAL charge of the family budget for a whole day? What would they learn? What would you learn? Will the entire budget be blown on LEGO?

@starlingbank set us this very challenge in this week’s special bonus episode. We gave our lads a budget for a family day out, and a Starling Kite card so they could spend and keep track of the money independently. Tune in to find out whether they wasted it all on V-bucks and sweets, and whose son spent the most on their Mother's Day present.

True story: we've been with Starling for years, and we're big fans of their work. It's super easy to apply for an account with them and their app is so simple to use. With Starling Kite, kids get a snazzy contactless debit card and their own version of the app, and you’re able to keep an eye on things and set limits all from your own Starling account. It’s a great way to get kids thinking about money for only £2 a month. We had a right laugh testing it out with our boys, so why not give the #StarlingKidsTakeover challenge a go yourself?

0:00.0	Hello scumbags, this is the scummy mammy's podcast with your hosts, Ellie Gibson and Helen Thorne.
0:17.0	Hello and welcome to this special bonus episode of the scummy mammy's podcast, it's me Ellie Gibson and it's me Helen Thorne.
0:24.0	And we've got no guests today mate, which is the two of us. It's just the two of us.
0:28.0	Do you know what? Sometimes I like that better. Do you? Yeah, I like it and we're hanging out in Norwich.
0:32.0	Can I just say that's nice for the 200 dog guests, so we've previously had on if they're listening to this.
0:37.0	We'd have had a better time if you weren't here. Not really, we're just joking.
0:42.0	I haven't thought that through, had I? But anyway, it's lovely to hang out with you, Ellie Gibson.
0:46.0	And I am genuinely excited about this bonus episode because it is sponsored.
0:50.0	We are actually partnering with our favourite bank, which is Stirling Bank.
0:54.0	No, I know it sounds like she's being insincere, but honestly, they actually are our favourite bank.
0:58.0	We're in our 40s now. We have a favourite bank. We do that in our lives.

1:11.0	We could do a whole podcast about how much we hate the other bank.
1:14.0	But no, we're not going to do that. They were just sort of really old fashioned.
1:18.0	I won't bore you with banking tales, but oh my god, that day I spent in that branch in Winchester.
1:23.0	I wanted to, anyway. And the point is, the point is Stirling is a great sort of modern bank.
1:30.0	They've got a little app. I was going to say fancy app, but that makes it sound complicated.
1:33.0	No, it's actually not. It's a joy to use that app.
1:36.0	And also, I like, there's many things I like about Stirling. It was founded by a woman.
1:40.0	Yes, already excellent. And they were. And they were voted best bank in the UK for years in a row.
1:45.0	Oh, you have been reading the brief, aren't you? Well done.
