When I was a kid I got a 25 cent allowance per week until I was 12 years old. At the age of 12 I had my paper route and was a financially independent man (if you know what I mean...allowances were for little kids) It seems times have changed. We paid our kids an allowance of about $10 a week, but there were chores attached to those payments. My kids are millenials and their formative years were the 1990s. I was talking to a friend who is raising their kids now and allowances have gone through the roof. Talk about inflation. Some involve a credit card with a limit.
What was your allowance as a kid? What are your thoughts on allowances these days.
