Allowance?

#1 Post by Sugarinii »

For all us kiddies who still receive an allowance, how much and how often?

I get my allowance completely randomly, and completely random amounts of money. One week my mom will give me five bucks every day, or she'll give me 40 dollars at the end of a month, or she'll just hand me a 20 dollar bill after a week and a half of nothing. It's very strange, really.

I don't get allowance. I'm not really a particularly demanding child, so whenever I want something, I ask my parents, and they'll generally buy it for me.

Also, whenever I go out with friends or on a school trip or something, they'll give me money, and I, being a cheapskate, will spend very little of it and keep the rest. They always forget to ask for it back. :P

I'm like Starchaser, I only ask for money when I'd like to buy something- with the exception of food costs, in which my parents give me $20 per week or two depending on how fast I use it up.

But if they send me off to the mall or something with $40, most of the time, I don't spend a cent of it...and unlike Starchaser, I give it back. :P

I don't get an allowance because I don't do my chores. *whistles*

Depending on what it is my parents might buy it for me if I ask. If it's like a game or something the automatic response is "You want it? Go buy it yourself."

*cough* I tend to get rich easily by babysitting, as I do a lot of it. So I don't really need an allowance.

No allowance for me, but I get quite a bit of money a week for food purposes during school, so that sort of counts for my allowance.

I don't get an allowance, but my parents buy me CDs every once in a while, usually one a month it seems, because of all the things I do around the house.

I don't get an allowance, it's just assumed I will do what I'm asked. The way I get money is by asking for lunch money, then not spending a cent of it. I'm not a fan of lunch, so I just keep the money. :P

Typically though, my parents just buy me what I ask for. I don't ask for a lot of things, so normally I get what I need.

I obviously don't get an allowance, seeing as I'm 20. However, when I was younger I didn't get one either. I did a lot of odd jobs for my neighbor and she would usually pay me for them, but other than that, I didn't really need money. If I did, my parents would either loan it to me or have me do something random to earn it.

I don't get an allowance. I do my chores anyways. I do get $3.00 every school day for lunch and train fare. Whenever I want to go shopping my parents will give me money according to how generous they feel. If I have some left over I save it for next time =P
