Guide: This much pocket money makes sense for children. Guide: This many pocket money is not the decisive factor, but rather the learning effect.

Children learn the value of money by being able to use it sensibly and save for certain things. From a certain age, however, it makes sense to let children set budgets for certain everyday items. The German Youth Institute has been dealing with this issue for many years and also recommends budget money that should be planned in addition to pocket money. This is intended for set expenses such as clothing or school supplies.
