“The key to motivating your kids to take responsibility for earning their way in the world is to limit the amount of spending money you give them. It isn’t a bad idea to give your kids a modest allowance. It’s best if the allowance is tied to doing chores around the house. Even then, be sure to limit the amount of money you give your kids. The whole idea is to leave the kids wanting more money than you give them so they have the desire to earn some money on their own.”
