Mom asks her 9-year-old twins to pay rent and bills — the reason will surprise you

LaToya Whitfield, an Atlanta mother, is teaching her 9-year-old twins about financial responsibility by having them pay rent and utilities. She created a mock lease where the girls earn a "paycheck," pay bills, and face consequences for late payments or rewards for good behavior. Whitfield hopes this system will instill valuable life lessons about money management and independence.
