How can I turn off purchase sharing for everyone in Family Sharing?

Hi!

I want to subscribe to apple music and get a family subscription that I can share with family members. In order to do this I have to turn on family sharing, but I don't want to share anything else aside from the apple music account. Specifically I don't want the other members to be able to use my payment information for other purchases, but they are adults so I can't use Ask to buy. How can I turn off purchase sharing?

Thank you !

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

No. Find My Friends only works with Apple devices, Its an Apple service for their devices only.

You can only track a device from an Apple device or the iCloud website, and you can only track an Apple device.

i.e you could log into iCloud.com on a Samsung phone to track an iPhone. But you cannot track a Samsung phone from an iPhone using Find my Friends.

I'm pretty sure Samsung has their own tracking mechanism: Find My Mobile - Samsung.com

We don't really use iTunes gift cards so there is no balance to speak of.

I think I figured it out though, I can turn off purchase sharing from Family Sharing settings on an iPhone. There was no such option on a Mac in iCloud settings.

Does Find My Friends app work between a Samsung phone and an iPhone?

Do you have to put in credit card info on it too?

I want to be able to track his iPhone on my Samsung and on my Windows computer. He doesn't really need to track me. So how do I track him without using a credit card?
