Pocket Money For DD15

[RabbitsRock]

Putting this here as can’t find the teenage section.
I read online that the average pocket money for 15 year olds is just over £13 a week. DD15 gets £25 but is always complaining that it’s not enough. I told her what the average amount is & she said that those kids get stuff given to them as well - so does she! I made a list of everything DH & I pay for & everything DD is expected to pay for ( make up, hair dye although I sometimes get that or go halves, sweets etc with exceptions like sleepovers, CDs). Also we’ve told her recently that she will need to save up for concert tickets ( I’m buying her one for Christmas & she’s had festival tickets in advance of her birthday). She does absolutely nothing round the house, although many people think pocket money shouldn’t be linked to doing chores. Just wondering how much you give your kids if any?

Wow..some lucky kids on here. Mine get £15 per month from me and the occasionally xtra from grandparents..none from Dad. I do pay for most outings etc. I do actually realise it's low considering the cost but neither have much of a social life, are into clothes and it's all I can afford. If they got some of the sums on here I can't imagine what they'd do with it.

Ds gets £5 per week, plus £10 when he cleans my car and £10 when he mows the lawn.

I do all the other chores, I'm a single mum, I also work full time, and ds is bigger than me now. It won't hurt him to help out.

DD always go her age every two weeks. She can earn more.

She also has chores because everyone has chores. They aren't linked to money.
