Go Henry and all that nonsense

I daftly got some Go Henry cards a while ago. Don't know why I did to be honest. They have never used them. As like most of us, I signed the T&C's. So when I tried to cancel them, and even with my online banking, I could not locate them to do so?
I'll sort it out, and this is really not the reason why I have sent this message.
I realised that our kids, at such an early age, should definitely not be a part of the 'debit' culture we live in? As Adults, we have no choice to be that way.
Its so important for our kids to see what huge effort it takes to make money, and understand what this entails?
Money is not everything for sure, but a basic understanding of it is key. Simple economics.
Kids actually prefer cash. Do chores, get cash. This is their freedom.
I know that for sure. I had two paper rounds a day at 8. I had my own money, and that made me feel independent.
Lets not dissolve our kids further into the faceless bullshit debit card society.
They do not need that, and neither do we!

A warning about GoHenry, they are not a bank so IF your child's card is lost or misused as our daughters was, GoHenry take no responsibility for disputed transactions and parents are responsible for the first £35 of each transaction. It has taken many phonecalls to try and speak to someone at GH and they seem to have no procedure or team to deal with fraudulent activity.
