We've never really been formal about jobs or chores around our house. Lately the boys have really been wanting to earn an allowance so I set up a weekly job chart and job jars for them. They are earning $0.05 per job, per day which equals $3.50 a week. I have been to the bank for rolls and rolls of nickels and dollars. I am going to pay them in advance (a little reverse
psychology if you may) and if a daily job is not complete or if disrespect arises then out comes a nickel.
Whatever is left on Saturday night is theirs to keep. We'll see how it goes. In addition to the job jars I also made them three banks for sorting the allowance they earn each week - one for saving, one for sharing with those in need, and one for spending!
