At what age do you start giving a child an allowance?
How much do you give them?

I think it's good to give them a little bit when they first start doing chores, but only a dollar or so as they don't really need it at that age.
At around 11/12 or when they start wanting to go out and buy clothes or games or whatever I'd say raise it, I used to get $5 a week at that age. But only if they do chores.

Don't give them anything that they won't put enough value on. How much value is right is up to you.

We always got a dollar on Sunday... not really an allowance, but it made me eat my vegetables
I'm still waiting to have a child :/

It's never too early to start wasting all of your money on your kid(s)
Sigh :( true I guess..

As soon as those little minions are willing to work for it.
