Hello!

A son: Nothing is left of the money I earned as a part-timer in the last summer. I cannot afford to repair my XXX.

His father: All the more reason, I always told you to save some money.


Is the use of ‘All the more reason’ right in this case?

Thanks in advance

"All the more reason + to + infinitive".

Son: I can't afford to repair my car. I've spent all my money from last year.
Father: All the more reason to save money next year!
