How much monthly allowance is reasonable?

<p>

er, the post you referenced says $400 a month … not per week.</p>

<p>(It’s still $400 more each month than I generally gave my kids, but still – both your reading and your math are off the mark in this case - $400 x 12=$4800, less if the parents are not paying an allowance over the summer.)

<p>$4,800 for one year and $19,200 for 4 years. That’s what I posted.</p>
