How much do you get, or how much did you get before you outgrew your parents' wallets? That is, what was your allowance.

You know, even bad men love their mamas.

Yeah I know, but not all men are mollycoddled and pampered.

That reminds me, if people don't get allowances, how do they get what they want, how do they buy even a pack of gum?

I don't get allowance. About a year ago, every time I went swimming I would get a dollar. If I swept the kitchen or washed the dishes, I would get a dollar. Now, every time my family and I go to New York, my two sisters and I get $1,000 from my dad's friend.

I never got an allowance. My mom says that she "feeds me, clothes me, and puts a roof over my head. Technically, I should be giving her rent." :/

Same. But I get money at Christmas and my birthday. I can also work for my money by doing chores I don't normally do. Usually I just put it in the bank so it can get the .01% interest.
