Some children are given a weekly or monthly allowance, while others must find their own ways to earn pocket money. Experts say it’s best to help children learn the value of money, savings and work while they are young. Now, some people are sharing their experiences about making money as children.
Aneta from Poland
As a child I "managed" recyclable waste-paper, bottles that I collected from my family and neighbors. I could sell it, and have enough pocket money for my small needs. At about 12 years old, I was also allowed by my parents and neighbors to take some flowers from their gardens, and sell them.
Liu Zhilong from China
I like to help mother buy something like soy, salt and so on because I could take the change as mine. My mother wouldn’t ask for the change back when I was a child. So my pocket money was that change. I’d save it to buy cake. So I was glad that I had pocket money to control myself when I left home for middle school.
Oliver from the UK
I lived the rural life in the UK. My brother and I had "chores" from which we earned pocket money. Chopping firewood, feeding the chickens, collecting eggs, cutting the grass, etc. I also bred rabbits for sale to the local butcher. When I was 10 I helped the local milk delivery man deliver bottles of milk for a few pennies a day.
