Dad and I had more than one go-'round about spending things like Savings Bonds at various times, what they were being spent on, and how "you can only spend your money once." There was a balance, too, because I was learning to do things (if only to prove my point, such as when I bought my first Prius) like cost-benefit analysis-- which, conceptually, was important, it leads to broad skill development like critical thinking, organization, and record-keeping.
