A story about Nicole’s son’s internship in Japan leads into a discussion about young adults who don’t quite get that you can’t max out your credit cards, use up all your savings, run up an emergency-room bill, and not expect your Mom to freak the heck out. For younger kids, the dilemma is differentiating between needs, like underwear; wants, like underwear from Pink; and impossibilities, like buying an alpaca to live in your backyard. Though we don’t have all the answers, Catherine recommends the iAllowance app [http://www.jumpgapsoftware.com/allowance/index.html], Terri recommends iTunes allowances, and Nicole advocates for pay-as-you-go. (And back to young adults and budgeting, our faithful listener Mike has some good advice in his Facebook comment [https://www.facebook.com/terri.mauro/posts/10209480167308345?pnref=story].)
