[quote=Anonymous]I've never given my kids an allowance. I buy what they need, and some of what they want for birthdays, Christmas, etc. They each had small, odd jobs as teens and... hardly ever spent their money, because none of us are spenders in the family! I agree that if your kids have the urge to spend more than you think is reasonable, you can't keep funding that, they need to get jobs. We live in Bethesda, and I see everything: a few low-income families whose kids work for their money, some high-income families whose kids have jobs, and a surprising number of kids who show up at our public school in the morning with their daily Starbucks and get their daily food order delivered with Mom and Dad's credit card, and ... and then they get a brand new Jeep for their 16th birthday. That sort of thing. [/quote]
