The German Ministry for Family Affairs recommends a weekly allowance of between €1.50 and €2.
To teach her daughter how to manage money properly, an American mother deducts “taxes” from her pocket money every week. TV broadcaster RTL asked parents what they think of this upbringing method.
The daughter of Felicia Rae Farley is to be prepared for life as a responsible adult with a rather special upbringing method: For completing various household chores, she gets seven US dollars a week as wages from her mother. However, the costs for food, drink, electricity, internet and rent are deducted from the “salary”.
