In-App Purchases and Free Trials: Gems Cost Real Money

Many games sell virtual currency (gems, coins, crystals) that makes it easy to forget that real money is being spent.

Countdown offers and limited-time deals are designed to rush decisions.

Free trials often ask for card details and turn into a monthly bill unless cancelled.

Simple settings help: purchase approval, no saved card, and a family rule to ask first.

The rule from the episode: ask before you buy, even gems.
