Been there, done that! My daughter is now 18 yrs old. At 16.5 yrs she began selling on Shoppee (Live stream/

Clothes store) to fund her 1st purchase; an iPhone 11. Her sense of achievement has been great for her self-confidence. It spurred her on to then start working/saving again for her ist iPad. Both of these purchases within 18 months. My wife, younger son and I are proud of her dedication. Her schoolfriends are in awe! Yes, I could have purchased the products for her but would they have given so much "value" to our family if i had? I doubt it. As a grade 6 graduation gift/university entrance, we have bought her a Yamaha Grand Filano (72,000 baht) to get around her new surroundings. It's a 2-way street in our family.
