My kids are 13 and 16. They get $7.00 a week and they buy what they want with that. Including trac phone minutes. They have to save their money for anything extra they want. They buy a lot of their clothes at the Goodwill and then go home and make alterations to them to make them more "hip".
I buy them some sheo and a few things that a more expensive now and then. Man you would think that it was Christmas when I do buy them something.
We stopped at thrift sale where it was fill a lage paper grocery bap for $3.00 Last week. They came out with 2 bags stuffed to the rim and were the happiest camper you ever did see. When we started the allowance they found out fast the money didn't go far.
