DD has music lessons which cost £60 pm and belongs to a club which costs approx. £10 pm. As this is quite a bit for us, we've said in the past if she wants lessons, she can only have £10 pocket money. We pay for mobile phone top up, but that's nothing (approx. £20 a year as she doesn't really use it). Over the last year she's met up with friends in town more or gone for tea out, so I've always wanted to make sure she has enough money to come home on bus or for a snack/main meal.
Just wondering whether to give her an allowance each month and tell her she has to manage it. There'll obviously be a limit as to how much we can give her, but just wondering how much other teens have for pocket money, clubs & mobile phone.
