Which as always is a fair answer.
I do get feelings of joy remembering asking my parents for something and them actually saying yes for like a book/video game/flash drive. Hell, I remember being excited exactly that way getting an 8gb flash drive so I could finally burn dvd’s to something other than physical DVD’s.
To be fair my kid is a man now, he still lives at home but that is mainly because he doesn’t have a need to move out and he can save up while he lives at home (he works in his chosen field but prices are crazy). He definitely got almost anything he wanted but he always asked for stuff within reason and against all odds we’ve had a particularly lucky run at things over the past decade or so.
While I agree $20 doesn’t go far, a $20 bill at least makes sure I have enough to give my kid if he says he needs a couple bucks.

Hope your kid gets that too!
