How much allowance did you get?

Posted December 18th, 2007 by stormy and filed in Finance, kids

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

There’s an interesting blog post over on freemoneyfinance that is asking two serious financial questions:

How much did you get for an allowance as a kid?
How much did the tooth fairy leave you?

I answered:

I got $1/week allowance starting around first grade and $1/tooth from the tooth fairy.

My seven year old stepson gets $1/week at both houses and $1/tooth
from the tooth fairy. I think the tooth fairy is being a bit cheap
since she gave me a $1/tooth over 25 years ago!

What about you?
