However, one should also consider the parents' financial situation. As a teenager, I didn't receive any pocket money from my parents at all; I earned it by giving private lessons. My father had cancer and eventually stopped receiving a salary.
PS: Back then, I earned about 100 DM per month through tutoring. The top student in my class was three years older and earned up to 200 DM per month. That was over 60 years ago. 1 DM back then was worth about 2 euros. The cheapest ice cream on a stick costs 20 pfennigs.
Google the pocket money table. It's a bit too little, so it's below the minimum. The minimum is €12 per month divided by €4, which is €3 per week. The maximum would be €20 per month.
There is no minimum or maximum. Since there is no right to pocket money, parents decide whether and how much pocket money is given.
There are no clear rules. It always depends on what the parents can provide.
I don't have any children, but I gave my granddaughter 50 euros a week.
If you don't have any children, how can you have a granddaughter?
The little girl doesn't have a real grandpa. I'm too young for grandpa, and my skin color doesn't quite match…but it's been working for 13 years.
This borders on prosperity neglect.
This makes the granddaughter an outsider.
But the school canteen was included.
Okay, that explains a lot. But we should stop this discussion here. We've strayed quite far from the topic of pocket money. If you're interested in this, you can contact me directly.
No, it's not even family… She wanted me as a grandpa….
Aren't you the grandpa?
The mother was a problem case, that's true. That's why I played the grandfather.
My grandchildren only receive anything from me if their parents have given their consent beforehand. Communication within your family seems to be a bit disrupted.
I didn't know what the original mother added.
But you should also include that. My grandfather paid school fees of that amount for me for two years (at a local school). But I wouldn't call it pocket money. Pocket money usually refers to an amount of money that can be used (eg, excluding travel expenses) and that doesn't have to be used to pay any obligations.
There is no right to pocket money.
Therefore, your parents decide whether and how much you get
