Hello.
So, I'm selling my 10 year old DS's games console as he wants to upgrade. I've already got the new one as there was a good deal.
However, the one I'm selling is now £100 clear of the replacement cost and may well go up further.
My dilemma is what to do with that extra money.
My DH thinks I should take a cut (!) - and there's plenty of stuff DS needs that I can't really afford at the moment that I could put it towards.
But my take is it's his stuff so he should get the cash. But, how do I give it to him? He only gets £1 a week pocket money which he never saves (although I admit it's so little it's barely worth it) and whenever he gets cash for birthdays etc he spends it immediately often on extras for his games rather than saving it to get something bigger.
I would love to give him an envelope full of tenners to see his little face but equally I'd really like him to save it to buy stuff later in the year - we don't buy him stuff bar the odd magazine outside of Xmas and birthday so if he sees something he'd like it can be a long wait. He does have a bank account (which he doesn't have access to) or I could split it and give it to him as a £5 a week for a few months - but then it'll just go on sweets and crap!
So, what would you do - any ideas!?
And I appreciate this is a lovely dilemma to have.
