==================================================================
We picked up this algorithm from some friends whose kids are
older than ours.  Seems to work OK for pre-teens.
The weekly allowance is the age (in years) squared and rounded to the
nearest nickel.  Thus, our 8 year old gets 65 cents/week, our 6 year
old gets 35 cents/week, and our 2 year old gets 5 cents/week (how
she loves stuffing that nickel in her piggy bank).
