How Do You Get Your Parents To Give You A Allowance

How do I make my parents give me allowance?

I think you need to re-evaluate your outlook. Your parents are not required to give you an allowance. As a result, you can't make them give you one. The wsy you get money is to earn it. You may wish to approach your parents and offer to earn an allowance. If they are receptive, you can then discuss things you can do in exchange for money. This is commonly called “doing chores”. You should understand that money is oftentimes hard to come by and parents work very hard to make sure their children have enough to eat, have clothes, and have a roof over their heads. It is expected that children should contribute to making sure the household runs smoothly by doing what they can to help. Only if the parents have extra money and only if the child has shown they are responsible members of the household can they hope to receive an allowance. If your parents are not willing or able to give you an allowance, your should, with your parent's permission, check with neighbors to see if they could use your help in exchange for money. Many children make the mistake of thinking their services are worth more money than they are. So the trick is to find something that someone wants to have done and to allow them to determine what your services are worth. A good question to ask yourself is whether you would be willing to pay someone else the amount of money you are asking for to do the same job. If the answer is no, then maybe you are asking too much. Some ideas to make money that you can do for a neighbor might include raking leaves, weeding a garden (make sure you know what are weeds and what are desired plants), mowing the lawn if you are old enough, shoveling snow, sweeping a sidewalk, washing a car, or cleaning a car on the inside, Make sure you have your parent's permission because it is important that you are safe. Some things you could do at home include washing dishes, making your bed, doing laundry, sweeping, vacuuming, clearing the table, putting up toys, and putting up your clothes. There are other things that you could do as well. Good luck with earning an allowance!

I'm 15, how can I convince my parents to give me an allowance?

As long as parents can afford it they usually enjoy giving their children an allowance but there are usually rules that go along with it.For instance, they will probably expect you to do chores around the house or at least in your own room. If you haven't started doing things like making your bed or taking out the garbage I would suggest that this is a good time to start. Then when you ask them about an allowance you can give them examples of how you have earned it.It is also important that they feel you will be responsible with the money. You should be prepared to tell them what you would like to use the allowance for. I'm sure buying healthy snacks and going to the movies would be fine examples. Also, if you can give them an idea of what you want to spend the money on, they will know that you have been thoughtful about it and that would help them to feel that you would also be responsible with it.Finally, you should be ready to negotiate an amount. You may have differences of opinion about what you need. Many times it can depend on how much they can afford and what they feel you are doing to earn it. It is great that you want to start having your own money. It will probably make you feel more grown up and I'm sure your parents will be glad to help you manage your money as well.So I hope that you will succeed in working this out with your parents. You should also try to work on saving any part of your allowance that you can. You will find out that it is very satisfying to have some money put away for something really special.

How do I convince my parents to give me an allowance?

You don’t. Do you actually believe you have a RIGHT to be handed money you don’t earn? Ever since my children have had a basic understanding of the concept of having to pay for things, I have done two things to teach them how to handle money.First, when they get money for birthdays or holidays, they must write a thank you before they can get the money. Then they must put it in the bank. When they wish to spend it, they have to go to the bank and withdraw it. This teaches them about controlling impulse buying.Second, when they say they need money, and their account is empty, I give them a list of things they are capable to do that are not normal chores to earn extra money. This teaches them that money is of value.My family was extremely well off. World travels, winter ski trips, summer home by a lake, his and hers porsches in the garage plus the daily drive cars…. My father owned a chain of restaurants. I decided at age 12 I wanted a motorcycle. My father pointed to the mower and the weed eater, and said “Earn it”. He could have bought it out of pocket change, but instead taught me a lesson. NOTHING IS FREE. If it is FREE, all that means is you are not paying for it, but someone else is.After two years of mowing lawns, painting garages, and pressure washing driveways, I had about 80 percent of the money I needed. On Christmas day, my dad came in and took me to the garage, and there sat a street legal/off-road 100cc yamaha. He had emptied my bank account and paid the difference, plus tag and registration costs (and insurance). I then had to go get a moped license before I was allowed to ride it.When I turned 15, and started working on getting my drivers license, my dad took me to one of the restaurants and explained the responsibilities of a Host/Cashier. Three months later, I learned to wash dishes. Got paid full wages for both, then my father deducted the cost of the insurance increase.What I am trying to get across to you is that you do not deserve an allowance. Some parents like to offer one. Some don’t. But you don’t have a right to one. You want money? Go earn it. Welcome to growing up. Only toddlers point at something and yell “I want it!”
