JS Unwise Spending

6.8.11 - It will be Brandon (JS classmate) birthday next Saturday and he invites JS and few friends to celebrate with him at Mid Valley. Initially, it was a yes but until he told me today that Brandon asks them to bring at least $55 for a 30min game of Laser Tech. I was reluctant, the kids spend money so recklessly. It is not so much about the money but more on the value. I dont know about the rest but as for JS, the last time he played the game with friends, he paid $25 for just a mere 10min and was tempted to play again. He ended up paying another $50 for another 20min. This game is just too expensive and he was carried away. It does not worth the money no doubt it is a cool and new game in town. I need to let him know the value of money so that he will not end up a spendthrift. I think he understands:)
