Great idea for a poll. I’ve never given my kids a weekly allowance, as I never received an allowance when I was a kid. I did, however, get paid for any extra work I did for family, neighbors, family friends, etc., which gave me a good work ethic as a kid. I’d like to pass on to my children and encourage them to do a little extra work when they want to buy something special.
