[QUOTE="slsh, post: 366105, member: 8"] They've gotten a dollar per year of age per week (so $8 per week when they were 8), since elementary school. They've had savings accounts since then and at this point, they're more financially secure than husband and me, LOL. They very rarely withdraw money, and always put their allowances in the bank. We don't tie allowance into chores because we don't have set chores really. Diva usually empties the dishwasher, they split feeding the various animals, Wee usually does the garbage and cat litter (sexist, I know, but... I can only take so much of Diva's drama and Wee feels the same way). What is more important is that they do what we ask, when we ask, *without* attitude (Diva's downfall). If they have a problem with- doing the chores, they lose other privileges. It's more concrete to them that way, since it's an immediate consequence. [/QUOTE]
