[quote=Anonymous]We stopped allowance at age 10 and offered earning opportunities at home and encouraged and supported well paying summer jobs (did not want them working during school year) as they got older. Babysitting and pet sitting/walking became very lucrative. One did some online tutoring and “tech catering.” One had an Etsy store. One had a parent bail out service- Halloween costumes, valentines boxes, stuff like that. We were generous at Christmas and birthdays and the occasional surprise, but they knew not to come to us for wants. Our goals were around encouraging them to take responsibility, manage money, and get into the habit of earning money without being stuck in a boring W-2[/quote]
