My husband and I can't seem to decide.... how much?  at what age?  Would love to hear the experiences of other parents.

I remember getting 50 cents at some point when I started doing chores, maybe 7??  As I got older, I would get, say, $1 for being their daughter, and earn another $1 by doing chores.  By the time I was 17, I got $100 a month and I had to buy everything I wanted with that.  My parents paid for school clothes and necessities only.  I had a savings account by then, and a checking account, too.  It helped prepare me for handling $ when I went to college.

 Wow.  That's pretty impressive.  Not sure I can afford $100 per month, but I like the idea of making her increasingly responsible for thigns.  Thanks!
