A little more about your allowance If you spend all your money on movies, popcorn, and pop, you might run out before the next pay day. (Warning—your parents might not give you more!)
Your allowance is a way for you to learn what you can and can’t do with your money. That is something for you and your parents to decide. Will you use it only for fun stuff like the latest movie release or an afternoon at the swimming pool? Or,
What will your allowance be used for?
will you also need to buy your lunch in the school cafeteria and food for your pet hamster? You’ll all be happier if you decide on these things in the beginning. (Check out the save and share sections as well before you start spending!)
Remember , your allowance is to help you learn how to manage money -not just how to spend it. Your parents will help you make good decisions on how to use your funds.
