Allowances in the US
In the US, children get, on average, $ 8.74 in allowance a week, not including gift cards on birthdays
and holidays.
American experts believe giving an allowance creates a great opportunity for kids to learn about family
values related to saving. But it is very important to define what to do with the money - what to buy and
not to buy, define what they ‘need’ and what they ‘want.’ It is a great idea to teach them how to save,
and piggy banks are a fun way to start doing it: kids can count the money and always check the total.
This can give them a sense of familiarity with coins and notes, and also the importance of not spending
all they have.
So, how about you? Do you get an allowance? What do you do with it?
