Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. 71
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. 72 Others get a monthly allowance.
In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the children is expected to pay for with the money.
73 If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.
The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.
