None. I've never gotten an allowance in my life. If I want something, i'm expected to work for it.

I get around $50/month... I mostly save it. I am not a big spender, unless it is something I really want.

I don't get a cent.

**vedette** · March 12th, 2002, 16:23

30$/month?! 50$/month?!
I don't get any, i don't intend to get any either.
I just think that it's not right...you are using the money, your parents are making for a living.

I don't know, i'm a little different...

someone's spoiled.

i don't get a penny [i'm in college, of course], and if i ask for more i get slapped.

I get 20$ a week, but that's because I have to use that for everything.

My parents don't give me any money, but this nice guy at this restuarant I hang out at, gives me a check every two weeks for like, 500 dollars. What a nice guy.

My. Either I've just been spoiled or you've all been terribly neglected. Of course, I have nothing to base it on besides my own life so I can't say which is which. I never got an allowance per se, I had no real need for money as I seldom if ever did my own shopping, but anything I ever asked for was given to me. In fact, I could ask for anything now and either it or the money for it would be given to me. As for work, I've never worked out of need a day in my life.

In response to the question, how much pocket money did my parents give me, the answer to that would be the same amount that's in my pocket now: zero dollars.
