The peer pressure on your teen to spend money is intense. Here's how to support your kid
Teens in Canada are spending between a few hundred dollars to more than $1,000 a month. Makeup and skin care. Concert tickets. Iced dragonfruit lemonade. Sports gear. Sneakers. Ubers. The funds are coming from part-time work, parents and grandparents. Summer jobs tend to bring in even more cash for them. The pressure on teens to spend money is intense and gets more expensive by the year. It's a daily battle with the latest social trends, tech gadgets, and the unavoidable pressure and FOMO over the Insta- and TikTok-worthy lives of friends and influencers. Parents know that peer pressure is a cash-draining adventure and most have dealt with their own adult-version of it, too (vacations, cars, renos). No matter the condition of their own finances, parents do want to help their teens manage the social spending trap, without losing friends in the process. When done thoughtfully, downsizing can shore up retirement savings and ease pressure on one's Here are a few practical tips to support teens and teach financial literacy in the process. No surprise, it starts with truthful talk about the peer pressure itself. A study from Mydoh and RBC pointed out that teens are interested in the idea of financial independence, and it shows teens also want to improve their money skills. As spending pressures rise, the timing is perfect for parents to step in and talk about basic budgeting principles. It can be a conceptual conversation at first — dividing money into the big three buckets: spending, saving and giving — and then advancing the idea with a template, app or tracker so the teen can see precisely where the money is going. The goal is to show your kids they can enjoy some money now while saving for the future, too. In fact, this balancing act drives a positive money mindset free from the guilt parents are all too familiar with. Parents can encourage their kids to spend time with friends who share similar values regarding money. Suggesting low-cost or free activities promotes connection without the pressure to overspend. This is also an opportunity for parents to model how the friends they keep are aligned with their personal values. Instead of telling their child to ditch their expensive (and super annoying) friend group, encourage them to hang out with friends who share similar financial values — a lifelong skill worth mastering. Parents can guide their teen to identify what is truly important. This opens a dialogue to discuss the differences between needs and wants, helping teens figure out what brings actual value to their life, and what's going to make them truly happy. Spoiler alert. It's rarely another trip to Sephora. It might, however, be learning to invest in experiences, like a once-in-a-lifetime camping excursion, a class on photography (to take better pics for The Gram) or a concert in the park with friends. Memories last longer than any fashion trend, and they'll still be cool when the trend fades. There's budgeting, and then there's actual spending limits. These traditional limits often focus on the amount of allowance or a paycheque. But, what about getting maximum value for the money they do spend? Teaching teens how to stretch their money is a life skill, and opens the door to learning how to comparison shop, use coupons, hunt for seasonal discounts, and explore the world of second-hand markets. The goal is to show teens how to stay on budget, and get the things they want in the smartest way. It's the art of captaining their own financial ship, completely in control, allowing for smooth sailing through their social calendar. They can do more with their friends if they are clever with their purchases. The importance of money in a relationship is right up there with sex, trust, family and work. Parents, you know the peer pressure is high and that it is hard on many fronts, including mental health. Stay present for your kids and teach them how to make good money choices so they're not broke by Friday. And, if they mess up, which they will, create space for them to learn and grow. As you support them, you'll likely pick up a few more money tips of your own!

‘Financial infidelity' blows up a shocking number of relationships — why lying about money is so damaging
Money talks — but in many relationships, it's staying suspiciously quiet. A new survey by Casinos Analyzer found that 41% of people admit to sneaky spending behind their partner's back — and 57% say it blew up their relationship. Experts call this shady little trend financial infidelity. Advertisement That's right — it's not just about sexts and secret flings anymore. Lying about your paycheck, hiding debt or 'forgetting' to mention that $300 Sephora haul can be just as damaging. So, if you're sneaking swipes of your credit card behind bae's back, you might be cheating — just with receipts instead of lipstick on your collar. Advertisement As noted by the Illinois Department of Central Management Services, financial infidelity is when 'one person in a committed relationship keeps financial secrets from the other.' Jaime Bronstein, LCSW, a licensed relationship therapist and expert at Casinos Analyzer, explained in the study that this kind of infidelity, 'whether it's hiding a purchase, downplaying debt, or quietly overspending,' can be 'just as damaging as any other form of betrayal.' 3 Hiding a secret credit card, stashing cash on the sly or burying debt from your partner? You might be cheating with your wallet, not your heart. Tijana – Just like cheating in the bedroom or the DMs, money betrayal can leave your partner feeling rattled, rejected — and blaming themselves for the whole mess. Advertisement And it's more common than you think. As previously reported by The Post, half of men are playing financial hide-and-seek with their partners, keeping money secrets stashed like an off-the-books bank account, new research reveals. In a survey of 2,000 men, nearly one in two who are hitched or coupled up admitted to going rogue with their finances — with the most common covert move being a hidden savings account (14%). Others kept quiet about reckless spending (13%) or a secret credit card (12%). Roughly 1 in 4 said they were too embarrassed or ashamed to fess up, while nearly 20% claimed they 'just didn't know how to bring it up.' Advertisement Turns out, it may not just be guilt — it's pressure. A whopping 48% of men say they feel the need to be financially successful, with more than half blaming their expectations and 27% pointing the finger at society. 3 Just like sneaking around in the sheets or sliding into DMs — financial infidelity can leave your partner wondering if it's all their fault. fizkes – Commissioned by Beyond Finance for Men's Mental Health Month and conducted by Talker Research, the study shows what happens when cash and shame collide. In the former study, Bronstein stressed that financial infidelity 'chips away at trust and leaves one partner in the dark, often sensing something's wrong without knowing why.' 3 As The Post previously reported, half of men are playing hush-hush with their spending — sneaking secret stashes like off-the-books bank accounts, a new study shows. Kay Abrahams/ – That person, he went on, usually 'second-guesses their instincts and might not share how they're feeling.' Over time, he warned, this can create 'emotional distance and a disconnect that's hard to bridge.' Advertisement If that doesn't sound ideal, the therapist recommended 'talking about spending, even when it's uncomfortable,' since this is a way 'for couples to begin reconnecting—not necessarily to fix their finances, but to understand each other better.' Ultimately, this is 'how you build trust,' he stressed.

Inside Sephora's Community Lunch at The Business of Beauty Global Forum
To honour community and connection at the third edition of The Business of Beauty Global Forum, Carolyn Bojanowski, executive vice president of merchandising at Sephora US, gathered an intimate roster of leaders, thinkers and changemakers from across the beauty and wellness sectors for a community lunch between sessions at the forum. 'I've worked at Sephora for more than 20 years and the global community is a critical part of what keeps me so energised and coming back for more,' said Bojanowski in her opening remarks. 'At Sephora, we're excited to keep tracking what you all create and to continue building this industry together.' In attendance were guests of the forum, including executives and founders from companies including L'Oréal Groupe, Pattern Beauty, Dermalogica, Citi, E.l.f. Beauty, Glossier, Olaplex, Tatcha and Isamaya Beauty. Conversations at the lunch spanned some of the industry's most pressing market shifts, with emphasis on creating true value in the eyes of discerning consumers. Indeed, The State of Fashion: Beauty report, now in its second volume, found that seventy-five percent of executives surveyed for the report expect consumer scrutiny on perceived value to be the biggest theme shaping the industry. For many in the room, leveraging a brand's community and core purpose is a critical value driver. 'Beauty is inherently about community, and celebrating the founders, business leaders and creators who build and foster that is a powerful thing,' said Sephora's global chief merchandising officer, Priya Venkatesh. 'In settings like this, where attendees come in with authenticity, there is an abundance of opportunity to learn from each other and discuss big challenges we all face, such as reducing carbon footprints and supply chain challenges, but also learning from each other's success stories.' As the conversation continued over lunch, Venkatesh underscored the importance of open dialogue. 'These [conversations] are pivotal in making the beauty industry more inclusive — and it has come a long way. These types of discussions have led to improved shade ranges, skin care treatments that address issues faced by those with deeper skin tones, as well as developing and offering a wider assortment of products for customers with textured hair. For aspiring founders, being able to hear and learn from the hurdles and highlights others have experienced is invaluable.' A key takeaway was that — regardless of size and scope — strategic reinvention and reassessment are critical to the continued development of the beauty space more broadly. 'We are enthusiastic to hear from the wider beauty community and learn where we can improve in areas like sustainability, inclusion or how we can tell better stories in new media formats,' concluded Venkatesh. 'The amazing thing about the beauty industry is there is always somewhere new to go.'
