[quote=Anonymous]We give our 14yo $50 per month as 'allowance' (contingent on a few hours cleaning ever weekend) and give her a bonus if she brings home straight As. She is allowed to spend 1/2 of what she gets and is expected to save the other half, and can ask to use the savings when she has a 'big' item she really wants (e.g., the newest, greatest iphone). I pay for clothing items that I consider 'necessities' (school shopping in August and some items at the change of seasons if last year's clothes don't fit) and other standard fare (athletic equipment she needs for her team sports, etc). She pays when she goes to the mall with her friends; she pays for movies and coffee out. She pays when she buys gifts for others (e.g., bday presents for her friends). She usually asks us and grandparents for giftcards for bdays and she can those, 100%, on whatever she wants.[/quote]
