we have four kids, and needed to make it sustainable.we wanted to be able to increase his pocket money each birthday.Why such a low figure of £1? A few reasons: And even then, it was more a case of “If we don’t start now, we’ll never do it” rather than because he desperately needed it. We have very generous family around us, so this point didn’t come until Mister was 10. And we only give him £1/week which, again, is much lower than the average.īut I always said we’d only start giving money to our kids when what they wanted was of significantly higher value than what they received from extended family for birthdays and holidays. It’s pretty late to start giving pocket money at age 10 – I think, on average, families start giving it much younger.
My nearly-11-year-old has been getting pocket money since his 10th birthday, and the others don’t get any yet.
If you’re new around here, to give you some background, my own kids are nearly 11, 9, and the twins are nearly 6.
