Read the Hilarious Letter a Dad Wrote When His 6-Year-Old Asked for Money

​

When one 6-year-old boy asked his dad for an allowance to buy a new toy, the father took it as an opportunity to give the little tyke his first lesson in finance. The dad printed out a letter that looks just like the one you get from the bank (minus a few spelling errors), turning down the allowance request and stating the reasons why. 

"We regret to inform you at this time that we are unable to provide a loan in the amount requested of $20.00. After reviewing your account, we have find [sic] you have insufficient funds, and a history of not doing your chores." 

The letter went on to say that he's already in debt for his Christmas presents and that he could choose to refute their decision by calling their "complaints department" (aka mom). The best part is the letterhead at the top right corner, which includes the tagline "DAD: Because, apparently, I look like I'm made of money." 

Something tells me this kid is going to be pretty financially savvy when he grows up. Or at least he won't stroll into a bank at the age of 21 asking how to cash a check like someone else I know (*cough*me*cough).
