How much pocket money should you get?

Answer 1

It depends on a LOT of things! The age, responsibility, grades, etc. of the child and your salary should be considered. First of all, the child must at LEAST be ten otherwise he/she can't use the money well, the'll lose it or use it before the end of the month.

For a responsible, straight-A kid between the age of 10-13, you should give $6-10 depending on how much you can afford to give.

For an irresponsible child of this age with bad grades, start with $3-5 and tell him/her to buck up and do better before you think of raising the money a LITTLE like a dollar or two but not more for such a kid until he/she is over-all a GOOD kid!

For a 14-15 year old who is a good kid and student, he/she should get $10-13 but not more, or a good kid'll go rotten!

One of the same age, but not good should get $6-10. He/she may not even deserve that much but as you grow older, your needs grow!

Kids older should work for their money. Give them chores around the house and pay them $1-3 for every small job, like taking out the trash, or start them as a waiter or cashier at McDonald's and so on and so forth!

Hope this helped! Please say so if it did!
