That to me seems like quite a lot, and I think she may think that getting a job is not necessary for her. Mine receive their age amount in dollars a week. ie my 13 year old receives $13 etc, 10 year old, $10. They are expected to do their chores though, like feed the cats, keep their room tidy, occassionally vaccum, dishes etc. Jess is 15 and has been working close to a year now. She earns no pocket money any more but works at McDonalds part time around school and does what she wishes with her hard earned money. She has certainly learnt to appreciate how much work goes into earning it and while she spends it, is considered in what she does buy. She is currently earning anywhere between $60 - $120 a week.
