Ben Affleck Says His Children Have Jobs And Make Their Own Money!

Teach them young!

Ben Affleck is in the position to give his kids "everything," but instead he is "setting boundaries" and making them work.

If ya didn't know, Ben has three teenage kids with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner - 19-year-old Violet, 16-year-old Seraphina, and 13-year-old Samuel.

In a recent interview with Today with Jenna and Friends, Ben said: "One (Seraphina) just got a job, the kind of classic teenager working a shop job—I won’t say what it is. My older one (Violet) in college is working and trying to get an internship for the summer"

Meanwhile, his youngest Samuel is only realising he needs to make his own money.

"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? I have the money! You’re broke," he said.

"My son, who’s 13, he’s reckoning with that reality right now. He’s looking at no shoes in his closet—well, he’s got shoes, just no crazy expensive fancy shoes—and I’m like, ‘Well, if you want that, you can work 1,000 hours.’ You know what I mean? Minimum wage. And once you work 1,000 hours, you may not want to spend that on a pair of sneakers," he added.
