I no longer pay out allowance to my four kids, and they dont feel bad about wasting their money on silly stuff.
They tell me what they want and we place it in rewards so they can see how much to earn it.
We have a star account for all good deeds, and mandatory care ( brush teeth, homework) 5 stars gets you 30 min. Gaming, t.v or Internet time. We have the dog account, All poop pick up, walks, bushings goes into this account for dog food and vet bills all extra money goes to SPCA. The third account is theirs, for trips, iPods,video games, toys @ 0.05 to .50 cents a chore it takes a bit longer for them to add it all up, much better then just handing out 20.00$ a month. I love it
