Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have three children together, including 13-year-old Samuel, who has shown interest in expensive sneakers. During a recent father-son outing, Ben humorously reminded Samuel that he can't just buy $6,000 sneakers. Instead, he emphasized the importance of working for valuable items. Appearing on Today, Ben further discussed the need to teach children about financial responsibility, despite their affluent lifestyle. He humorously noted the difference between their financial standing, prompting laughter but also imparting a serious lesson on hard work.
"You love your kids. You want to give them everything and do everything for them, but I think you definitely do them a disservice by not connecting - [if] you want something meaningful that you want, you have to work for that."
"He wanted these sneakers, and I was like, 'These sneakers are $6,000, what are you talking about? What are you gonna do, mow lawns? You got $6,000?'"
