We have told our only (adult) kid that if they ever waive a cellphone (or "smart" watch, etc.) over a payment device, they will be removed from our trust/wills. I think we made our point. It is the only thing we dictate to our kid.
It's bad enough that the younger generations see no problem in paying for everything, no matter how small, with their debit cards (another dicey action) or smartphones. They actually think the latter makes them look cool and hip. Dumbasses!
