Giving pocket money to children as young as four or five years helps them start learning about money management. For example, when children get pocket money, they have to make choices about spending or saving it. And if they’re saving up, they have to learn about waiting for things they want. Pocket money can also help children learn about the consequences of losing money, giving money away and even gambling. Letting they make a few mistakes – like spending all their hard-earned savings on fake tattoos instead of a hot-wheels car – is part of the learning process.
Paying children to do chores around the house is a complex issue. Linking children’s chores to pocket money might lead to bargaining about how much chores are worth.
