The Smart Way to Pay Kids an Allowance

Reader Comments
Back to article

What an idiotic study. Allowance doesn't ruin kids, parents (can) ruin kids. If you do a study that has a bunch of rich kids getting allowance but not expected to do anything, did the "allowance" ruin them? What if the parents just randomly gave them money? Then the "allowance" would not have ruined them and they would have been great? Stupid, stupid, stupid!

As me a 11-year-old I think that parents should not pay their kids to do chores and they should do it them-self.I think that because parents cook,make food,ect.

You have one smart cookie on your hands is what I say, she's always thinking. I think that personality trait is just there or it isn't, difficult to teach it. But starting a savings account and having children become aware of what they want to buy and the costs is very beneficial.
