When Is It Too Early For An Allowance?

Experts differ on whether or not allowances should be tied to household chores. Although many people say children will learn more about personal responsibility if they are NOT paid for pitching in around the home, others feel it teaches them valuable lessons about working and earning. You might consider paying your children for chores outside of daily duties, such as helping to garden or wash the family car.

I give my son an allowance for his contributions around the house. I think it's a wonderful way to learn about the art of give and take. In life there's usually more give than take so when it comes to earning for giving I'm all about it.

It's No Longer Monopoly Money.

OK, so the thought of using a contract for your kids' allowance is a little strange. Strange is sometimes a good idea though. Sometimes you need to know your budget so that you can plan. I think it's very important to give kids an allowance. This way they get familiar with handling money. Take a plan of action.
