Average allowance for a ten year old girl in Portland Oregon?

Question

What is the average allowance for a ten year old girl living in Portland Oregon? I am divorced and my family gets about 2,800 a month. I support 3 kids at home, and 2 older ones who I lends a bit of money to. By the way, I am a homeschooling stay at home mom. If anyone knows, would you please answer? Thanks!

Answer 1

I say about 20 to 25 a week, she is only ten. You are the mother and you already pay for her needs and some of her wants. And if some of her wants are something that you really need the money for tell her to save it up from the money you give her, so that she can get it for her self

Answer 2

0$ is what I got I worked hard for my money.

Answer 3

depends wat they do.

at that age i got 8$$ week

Answer 4

What do you give to the older ones? Maybe you could give her $5-10

Answer 5

I would say maybe $5 a week...

Answer 6

10$ a week but they didnt get it until the end of the month

Answer 7

When it comes to money a child's mind will be trained to what you show them at a tender age. At the age of ten a young girl is already learning what things cost. You might want to teach them to how to manage money and to think about what they really need instead of what they want. or you might want your child to work for her money by picking up her room or cleaning after dinner. For the amount I believe 10 dollars is fair enough.

I give my younger brother 5 dollars a week. Yet I make him work for it. I also tell him that he can either get it and buy whatever he wants OR he can put it in his short term jar for something more expensive and I give him 7 dollars OR he can put it in his Saving Account at a local bank then I give him 10 dollars. This teaches him that its better to save instead of splurging. This summer he plans to go to Disneyworld Florida (from TX) in part with his $$$

Answer 8

I never got an allowance and I'm fine (I'm 16); then again, I'm not well versed in the finances of preteens in Oregon. Is an allowance necessary?

Answer 9

hahaha I don't receive allowance. My parents always tell me that they gave me life isn't that enough. Just be thankful for what you get even if it is 5 dollars a week

Answer 10

I don't know what the average is but I used to receive $10 weekly.
