Interested to know how much you give and how often. We give our 15 yr old £20 per month. She was happy with this but has found out her friend gets £60 and now "It's not fair!"
She has started a paper round and gets £10 a week and we are really proud that she has started to earn and learn the value of money but feels miffed that her friend has no job and still gets more.

What do you think? How much , if any, do you give?

NB - I think you have to give short shrift to the whingeing about unfairness, as in any aspect of their lives there will always be friends who get more than they do, especially if you are not well off.
