I would say that it depends on how old he is. I don't know how much a route makes these days but a good 70%-30% rule is a good start. 30% or fun stuff, treats, toys,etc. and 70% put away for savings for well thought out purchases or big ticket items. It is important to have a goal to save towards. 30 years ago I think i made about 35-50 a cheque delivering flyers, now I am sure they are well past that.
