    These stories are always wild to me. Who keeps giving unrestricted access for their credit card to children?

      Yeah that’s the first thing I always think when I see stuff like this. Also do other people not obsessively check their bank account balances? Haha

          Financial literacy is a huge issue in consumer spending across the globe. Even in world-leading economies, the layperson often doesn’t understand basics like sustainably leveraging credit/debt.

    1. Shes 13 years old. She should know by now
    2. She knew to hide the transaction history from her parents
    3. She knew she shouldn’t give money to her classmates

      Yeah, make it so that either

      • I pay to buy the game and I have fully access to everything it offers
      • I pay to buy the game and pay a monthly subscription fee and nothing else

      A game which you can pay to buy gems which speeds up your fucking castle’s build time is moronic and shouldn’t exist at all
