Hey, this is Riley.

And this is Keon, your favorite OKStortime host, and we've got some great stories coming up.

But before we get to that, we have a quick two-minute break from the sponsors that keep the show alive.

This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human.

My son blew every dollar I gave him. Now he wants college paid for.

He should have kept all those dollars.

My ex-wife, 36 female, and I, 36 male, have been divorced for seven years now.

We have twins. Both 17, female and male.

My wife and I are the stereotype of high school sweethearts. I'm more of a geek.

She was a cheerleader. My son takes after my wife and my daughter takes after me.

By the way, this comes from user, throwaway save your dollar. And if you want to submit your own stories, go to the R-slash-O-K Storytime subreddit. I'm Keon. I'm Carly. I'm Dakota. And we're here to give good advice goofily. We only know what we do, so let us know what you do in the comments.

As OP says, when they were younger, I gave them the option of allowance. They could either spend the

money on what they wanted, or I could walk them through investments and start saving. My wife was

all for this at the time. We explained that they each have a set amount of money that we have put away

for future schooling as well as a car fund. At first, both of my kids decided to invest it, and I started

to show them how to and the risk involved. My son put his into a very risky investment, against

my advice, and guess what? He ended up losing it and decided not do it anymore, within a few weeks.

My daughter started off rough, but quickly got the hang of it, playing with different investments

in companies. She has been in the positive most weeks. The issues that due to this, my daughter

has saved up more money than her brother. She also likes to spend most of her time over at my house

versus my son over at my ex-wife's house. My daughter's interests are more minimalistic when it comes to most things, and does not spend a lot of money. She will when she finds things she likes. She's not in the fashion, rarely puts on makeup, and when she does, it is very light, bought a used but nice car, etc. They just got their acceptance letters

for college, and she will be able to pick any of her choices due to grades and her savings
