She also has a job. I'm teaching her that everything in life doesn't come easy. You have to work for what you want.

Since i come from an Asian family i never got an allowance but it New years kinda makes up for it. God thing about it is that money is more special and makes me less likely to spend it lol.

That's great! but if she has a job why does she still get an allowance?

what exactly does she do to earn $50 a week?
my parents would give me $10 here and there for
gas when i was 16, and i had a job...


...$50 seems a bit much to me, but you're on
fusioncash, so apparently you're making up for it  :P

Wow, $20, $50?! I am 16 years old and I SOMETIMES get $10, it depends on if I  do the millions of chores my mom dictates. I wish I your allowances. :BangHead:

 Im 16 and  I dont even get allowance. If she has a job she doesnt need allowance in my opinion. keep that money and use it for yourself. if she didnt have a job i would expect 20 a week though :)

$50.00 sounds fair if the teen works around the house and contributes to the household.  ::)
