Wow... when I was young I got $5 if I was good, got good grades, and helped with chores around the house. My sister just asks for things and gets them if she meets the requirements. I was first born though, and my parents were a little poorer back then. It's amazing how much some kids get now! |

What about kids that get none? What exactly do you have to do to get that $10 if I may ask? |
|

That IS a lot.
You are very lucky. I don't get an allowance. |

i gave my children $1 for each year they were,
example age 10 = $10
age 15 = $15
and so on
depends on how old you are
also if you do extra chores |
|

None. If I wanted money for something I had to do extra chores on top of my usual ones to pay for it. |

I only ever got $2 a week. $5 if dad was feeling generous.
$10 is spoiling, IMO, unless you do a LOT of chorse around the house. So don't complain, when most kids barely get a quarter of that if they're LUCKY. |

holy crap what do you do for that much? you get 10 bucks? dang i only got $2.50 when I was a kid...and it wasnt that long ago!
and I am so with the one above me! kids shouldn't get paid for living...especially when parents pay for EVERYTHING. so many expenses. kids need to earn their pay so they can learn responsibility and work ethic |

I got five bucks growing up. I had to take out the trash,mow
the lawn,shovel the walk...not too hard,but I still was expected
to do something for it. When I was 15 I got a part time job.
If you're old enough to be online,you can deliver papers or
something.
Be happy sweetie. 10 bucks for just breathing is a pretty good living! |

I didn't get an allowance when I was growing up. Count yourself lucky that you get $10 a week and stop sounding like a spoiled brat! |

Well, you get more than my kids do. They only get money if they work for it. |
|

Only? Do you do anything for that money? If not, I wouldn't complain. My son is 12, and he doesn't get allowance unless he's helping around the house with chores and such (things outside of cleaning his room or putting away his laundry), or sometimes he gets it as a reward for making honor roll. I already pay his room and board, and put food on the table. I'm not going to pay him just for living here. |
|
Without me you're just aweso
|
i get half of my age. |
|
.Tiff.
|
gosh that's alot you brat!!! nah just joking.. i know ppl who gets more but they work so yeah.... it's good be happy for what u get. if u want more from your parents ofeer to help around with the house more^^ goodluck |

My kids each get $5 every 2 weeks.
If they need more than that, I don't care what it's for, they had better provide a service to someone willing to pay them because they don't do ANYTHING around here!
My daughter (13) babysits, shovels driveways, rakes yards & cleans for people.
My son (12) shovels driveways, rakes yards, & does dog-walking.
My husband gets $40 every 2 weeks (and he makes all the money).
I don't get an allowance. So long as I'm free to go shopping for groceries, I don't have the urge to spend money on myself. Although I do usually have a few bucks in my wallet, just in case, but it lasts me a really long time. |

Sounds good enough for a young kid. I got about $10-$20 a week when I was a kid. |
