I never received an allowance as a child, and have not
given any to my two boys (now ages 9 and 13).  I (and
they) were always allowed to EARN money by performing
jobs either around our own home, or wherever else they
could find them.  Now I am being "taken to task" over
this policy, and I would like to take a survey of
allowance/earning practices for children of all ages.
I will post a summary (without names) to the net.  Where
possible, please include amounts paid for allowance or
for jobs.
