DD will be 16 soon, she has an allowance for clothes, make-up, cinema etc of £35 a month. But we find that for friend's presents, dinners out for birthdays, trips etc etc etc we are forever supplementing it.
So it's not really teaching her to manage her money. Was wondering about giving an allowance to cover EVERYTHING including school lunches, so she has time to learn to budget before she goes to college and has to live on toast for weeks on end.
How much is reasonable? What do you pay?
Not keen on her having a job until exams are over....
