Our kids don’t have a fixed allowance.
Like some others there are chores that are just expected, and some things that pay.
We pay for a lot still, but my 14 year old knows he has to pay his cell bill, for example, so he better earn money.
It also gives me rare parenting wins where I say yes to almost all my kids asks for whatever they want to buy, even pump them up to shoot for the moon, then ask to see their plan to work for it. I haven’t said no, but I have tortured them a little. It’s great.
