Pocket money for 5 year old

[CasanovaFrankenstein]

What's the going rate please? Things are a bit different since I got pocket money!

Urgh god.
I’ve already explained what I meant.
The lady was asking what an appropriate amount of money was to give her child
My point was that at 5, I personally don’t think there needs to be a defined amount or frequency of pocket money

In primary school my DC all get £1 per month for each year of age, so 5 year old would get £5/month. From about 7 it's paid directly into the bank just like their older siblings. In high school monthly allowance is negotiated depending on what needs to be funded. Makes managing their money a continual learning process and works for us.

£1 per week from five.
I think having a small predictable income really helps with learning to budget and save. And stops pestering!

Mine got fuck all at that age. The only cash they had was fake coins and notes to put in their cash machine when playing shop. Never in my life have I heard of a 5 year old getting an allowance

My 7yo said £10 a month

We started with 50p on his 5th birthday. I agree it's good for learning value.

Thanks for the responses.

My 5 year old gets £2 a week.

Yes, it’s young for pocket money, but he’s the youngest of 3, with quite a reasonable age gap (6 years to next sibling), so he’s aware of stuff, and quite frankly, it’s not worth the battle, given that it has a good learning opportunity attached.

He uses it to buy Lego, or craft items he especially wants (he practically lives in Hobbycraft!), extra stuff, I suppose. Whenever we are out and about and his sisters are spending their pocket money, he tends to spend his.
