#AD BONUS EPISODE: Kids Control the Family Budget

About this episode

<blockquote><em>#AD This special episode of Dope Black Dads is sponsored by Starling Bank. Today, we are joined by my children, Blake, 6, and Ocean, 4, who embark on a daring mission to learn about money with the help of the Starling Kite card. Starling Kite is a debit card made for 6-16 year olds and linked to your own Starling account, all with the aim of helping kids learn to spend like an adult and understand the value of money.&nbsp;</em></blockquote><blockquote><em>In the #StarlingKidsTakeover Challenge, Blake and Ocean took over the family budget! We learned so much without it feeling like a lesson, everything went swimmingly, that is until my own kid denied me a haircut! They learned enough to be reticent to splashing cash on their dad!
