My young scout also has no concept of how to use his money properly. From hsi own mouth, "When I get money, I have to spend it."

Like I said, he is poor, and his parents are uneducated. We know that money handling skills are usually worse among the poor. So his poor money skills are cultural (culture of the poor).

Should I say anything to him? Or should I wait for the "how to manage money" lesson that some other guy will teach during Duty to God week?
