We just worked out a pay-for chores system where we keep track of what gets done during the week on a dry erase board and payday is on Sunday. Only the 7yo is eligible for this as the 4yo takes too much supervision. He whines about it but cannot wait until he is in 2nd grade and do chores too. The average weekly take is around $1.75. I should add that none of the $$chores are things they have to do simply to exist in the house, such as make beds, clean up toys, and brush teeth. <abbr><em>Alissa´s last blog post..<a href="http://alzjunkyard.blogspot.com/2008/12/its-jungle-in-here.html" rel="nofollow">It’s A Jungle In Here</a></abbr></em> Our kids are 7 and 4 and, in my opinion, don’t need to receive money for doing nothing in return.

They should also be allowed to make "mistakes", because that is where you learn the most from. Kids should learn about stocks and investing from an early age.
