( ) keeping tract of money

anyone have any ideas on how to teach a 15 year old how to keep tract of his money / and not lose it.

I tried a man bag that goes around the neck/shoulder. when it gets in his way at his activity he will take it off and lose it.

when going out with his group - he will forget it in the car then can't get lunch or snacks when the others do.

I tried to get a debit card but in NY he can't have one until he's 18.

not all stores will take gift cards.

I'm going to try the wrist sweat money band (travel-money wrist band) but again it might get in the way and he'll lose it when he takes it off.

what ideas have you tried to teach responsible with money? also, if he see's money on the floor he doesn't think to pick it up.

thanks

I just googled it and it sounds like the debit card you get from the bank.

where do you get this preloaded visa card and do you have to be over 18 to use it?

Wow, we have had such a problem with this, too. The same stuff: money on the

floor, money falling out of pants pockets in wads.

Part of it is his ADD/disorganization, part of it is he really has little

concept of money. But here are couple of things we've done.

For our son, a wallet with a chain that attaches to a belt loop helped, the

other end goes onto wallet. BUT, he never remembers to put change IN wallet, so

that's a problem. And then there is the " losing the wallet " factor, so...

we got something called a " keyringer " they have them at tone and you

attach one to wallet and then the other one is attached to a huge brick-like

thing we keep in the kitchen. Then when he loses the wallet, which he invariable

does, you use that as a locator.

BTW, none of these has helped solve the problem, just aids a little, LOL, good

luck.
