How much pocket money do you get from your parents each week? British researchers did a survey of 1,204 children between 8 and 15 years old. According to the reports, they are getting less and less pocket money.
In 2010 | They found the average amount of pocket money for British kids was about 5.89 pounds (62 yuan) a week. |
In 2009 | It was 6.24 pounds (66 yuan). |
In 2007 | It was 6.58 pounds (69 yuan). |
In 2003 | Parents gave children an average of 5.79 pounds (61 yuan) a week. |
However, children are not too worried about it, according to the survey. Almost half of them believe they get the right amount. Only 42 percent say they would like to have more pocket money. Most kids like to compare their pocket money with their friends. In the survey, 37 percent believe their friends get more money than they do.
Although they are receiving less pocket money than before, most British kids still keep the good habit of saving, according to the survey.
10% | They save all their pocket money. |
25% | They save at least half. |
35% | They will save money to buy something they really want. |
"It is good to develop the habit of saving at a young age," said Flavia Palacios Uman, one of the researchers. "You will benefit later in life because your savings will add up over time."
