Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I also started an allowance because my son wanted everything, all the time. I'd tell him money doesn't grow on trees, buy ya know how well that went over. haha So with an allowance I thought it might help him to appreciate money and realize money is not free, in the real world you have to work to receive it. And it has helped because now if he has spent all his monies and he wants something while we are at the store, I ask him "well do you have any money"? And if he doesn't, then he doesn't get whatever it is he wants. I'm hoping it will teach him a lesson on how to handle money. Money burns a hole in his pocket though, he can however save up for something he wants, even if it's over $200. So he has the gest of it, I hope. haha Who knows. Never miss a thing.
