+511 If you don't get an allowance, you really want to punch those people in the face who are like "Ohmigod my mom is SO HORRIBUHL!!! she didn't even give me my 20 bucks yesterday! UGH I HATE HER!" When your allowance is food, a bed, and a roof, amirite?

I saw a status on facebook similar to this. I told the girl her mom didn't have to give her money and to quit acting like a spoiled bitch. Her response? "Um... I was being sarcastic." I didn't respond back because I don't really care enough, but I was just thinking "so you say you hate your mom for not giving you cash as a way to say you love your mom for it...?"

My allowance used to be 25c every Friday. I was very much content with that.

What's the point of an allowance of a dollar a month? I always thought the point of an allowance was to learn money management.

Because money wasn't everything for me and my siblings. We were content with just a quarter because at least we got something.

Regardless, 25 cents is not enough to merit being called an allowance. 12 dollars a year is so little it hardly needs to be given.

I see your point. I don't know, it made us happy. I was just glad to get money from my parents.

Wow, you're that poor?

not poor, just appreciative. It might not had been much but it's something. Maybe other kids would have complained but we didn't. We appreciated anything they gave us.

I got an allowance of $20 once in my life when I was 6. I spent it on some stupid shit. I also got a nickel every night for brushing my teeth when I was 4 or so. I got like 12 dollars after a while, and spent that on some stupid shit as well.

My one friend gets $7 a week and complains about it. I cook dinner, take care of my siblings, the dog, and my lizard, vacuum, do dishes, laundry for basically everyone in the house, and still manage to keep good grades and do marching band. It bothers me when she complains cause she could be in my situation.

I'm in a very similar situation; I also have to wake up really early for the bus. wary It's really annoying when kids at school say shit like 'My mum made me do the dishes last night, what a bitch!'

I've never gotten an allowance, I've never really seen the need for one. I only get money on my birthday.

That reminds me of a comedian who talked about a group of minorities and a white kid talking talking: "My dad beat my ass last night" "no my dad beat my ass last night" "i got sent to my room" - (white kid) "you have a ROOM??"

I used to get an allowance when I was a kid. It was like two dollars a week. But just gradually stopped because my family was getting less money. But when I hit high school my parents paid me for good grades. Only on report cards, (because they did it for my older sister who was failing out of school) But, it wasn't exactly a lot. 20 bucks for an A, 10 for a B, nothing for a C, and if I got a D, I owed them 10 bucks, and if I got an F, there was no money exchanges for the report card, and I was grounded until the next progress report came out (six weeks) at the time I thought it was ridiculous, and I lacked motivation in school, so I would barely ever avoid paying them money. Oh the things you don't appreciate until they are gone. I'd actually have money if I had tried.

I don't get an allowance. I've never gotten an allowance. The funny thing is, my dad runs a convienence store chain that runs all over the state, and people think we're filthy rich. They go into my room, see the laptop I have, and my xbox and are like OMGZ UR SO RICH CAN I HAVE A $20 etc. etc. Little do they know, All this stuff thats in my room, I paid for with my own money, that I made by building things out of wood and playing in competitions with my trombone. But I'm not complaining, I COULD be just like the people in the post, because if needbe, my Dad would give me money pretty much whenever I ask. I choose not to.

Good because my mother deserves someone who doesn't have to ask their dad for shit.
