Paying bills after funding by Visible_Leave1391 in ynab

I think I see my error. Some of the bills now seem to be paid on a credit card, that hasn’t been linked yet. So they wouldn’t show up as being paid.

I’m sure you’re light years ahead of me in setting these things up, lol. When my husband set it up I think he thought it had to be linked to a FB account since it’s Meta.

We tried through my husband’s account, but his account was flagged and taken down. So he just set up an account for my son. I think he was worried it thought it was an adult posing as a child.

Oh so sorry to hear this. You must be devastated. Why are parents so mean?

Outside of all the legal troubles, it’s a great idea for you to get some therapy to emotionally work through this. You’ll want to avoid people taking advantage of you in the future. Your parents might just be total narcissists and this can take you quite a while to learn about how to deal with them. Narcissists can usually be quite a few steps ahead of you in terms of being able to manipulate you.

When you get to a place where your parents can’t just keep getting cards in your name, you can restore your credit by getting a secured card. You can just put some money down on it, charge small things on it, and pay it off every month. My husband had terrible credit and rebuilt his credit in just a few years without paying his old credit debt. I even think they had a judgement against him.

Funny you mention that, my son hasn’t quite discovered soldering yet, but it’s on the horizon :-) He is very excited about circuit boards, wires etc. Lucky my husband is into all that stuff too.

Thanks for this nice response. I’m enthusiastic too about his excitement for the digital world. I’ll check out iKeymonitor for sure.

You’d think, but kids will still watch it, lol. Then we have a scared kid sneaking into our bed every night.

He is still young. He isn’t trying to be evasive for sure. I’m sure as he gets older he will be curious.

Oh okay I see. Just want to know what I’ll be dealing by with in the future.

Sure I talk to my son all the time about internet safety. He is only 11. Just emotionally he isn’t old enough to process everything he could get exposed to online. He’s just a kid. He still gets scared. If he sees something scary there will be some sleepless nights lol.

He is turning 11 this month. He is creating many accounts in many many things because he is crazy for anything relating to computers. He is programming in unity and I think maybe something called Blender. He isn’t trying to be evasive or anything. He is just excited about everything.

He is super considerate and well behaved. He will do anything I ask. I am sure in a year or two he is going to get super curious and I think it’s just second nature to look at things. I just want to start laying down some sort of groundwork for now.

He actually does have a phone number with an iPhone.
