[12:04.71]The last reading.
[12:07.32]Allowance
[12:09.12]Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance.
[12:14.66]The purpose is to let children learn from experience
[12:20.20]at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
[12:25.05]The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend differs from family to family.
[12:31.52]Timing is another consideration.
[12:35.06]Some children get a weekly allowance.
[12:38.74]Others get a monthly allowance.
[12:41.51]In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything,
[12:47.11]the child is expected to pay for with the money.
[12:50.09]At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it.
[12:57.87]If they do this, they will learn the hard way
[13:01.79]that spending must be done within a budget.
[13:05.34]Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.
[13:12.61]The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving.
[13:21.01]Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs.
