How much spends do you give 10 year olds or 13 year olds?

Do you mean pocket money or money when they go out?

My 13 DS gets £10 pocket from his grandparents.

He gets £5 for football on a Friday and an occasional extra bit if he goes to the cinema. I don't give him pocket money as such.

If he helped out more, tidied his room etc I'd be more generous.

We give 13 year old £5 a week pocket money and pay for her phone (£7.50 a month)

£5 per week for almost 13yo DD here. I buy her clothes that she needs (if I think she has too many e.g. t-shirts, she has to save to buy herself another if she wants it that much!) and pay for her phone (£10/month including cost of phone).

She doesn't often go to town with friends, if she does I will give her £10 to spend.

£5 per week at 13.

My parents also gave him £10 per month and £20 at the start of each school hol. We paid for his phone, sports stuff, clothes. If he wanted money for something specific and we agreed with it, he'd get it.

He had to keep his room clean for that.
