[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you mean, allowance vs. extra money from parents/family, or outside sources of money from paid work?

Most kids I know may or may not have an allowance, but their spending comes from their parents/relatives. They're busy volunteering or doing activities instead of working.

My kids don't have an allowance, and we pay for everything. Lately my husband has taken to hiring my son for heavy gardening work and car repairs. More regular chores are expected to be done for free.

That being said, my teens aren't spenders. Their social time doesn't consist of going out and paying for food and buying stuff. Usually they hang out at home (ours or their friends') and eat the host's food, play video games, goof around. For both my son and daughter.

He has an allowance, and works and we help him with some expenses. All he has to spend is really ice cream or chick fil a here and there, occasionally a bigger outing. No relatives ever give money. Both he and dd are very active socially but a lot of it is sports so free, and parties, sometimes the outings I mentioned. I feel like the allowance and money I pay here and there should be very helpful. Maybe I need to stop the allowance bc he clearly does not get that it's money to manage and save/spend.[/quote]
