My parents dont give me enough pocket money, how do I convince them to give me more?
Forgive me, but your sounding very selfish. Lots of kids (including me!) don't even get allowance. I have to work -and work hard- to get money so I can buy nice things. If your parents are giving you money without you doing any chores then I don't think you deserve 30 dollars a week. If you want more money ask your parents if they will pay you extra to do chores around the house or a get a job and work for your share. Your parents have done nothing wrong, they are trying to prevent you from becoming a spoiled brat. DVDs games and manga are fun and all, but they are not a necessity. I use the money from my job most of the time to buy the things that I need to live, like food and clothes. Please be thankful for the fact that you get 30 dollars every week for free. Save your money instead of spending. And don't become a spoiled brat like the rest of your generation. :)
Do you ask for pocket money or is it given to you by your parents?
I've always hated asking for money. I'm 18 as well and literally never ask for money from my parents. It makes me feel indebted to them. I also just hate the concept of taking from my parents. I refuse to take money from them even if they try to pay me for some big chore I've done (painting, digging something up, fixing up the deck, etc…) Occasionally they'll give me a little money to go to the school play and I'll get to keep like the $5 change. Other than that I work for everything I've got. I take no issue reciecung from an employer. youre 18, and you should really look for a job. youll get a surprising amount of money, and you'll get a letter of rec and maybe an employee discount. Look around. I'd look at becoming a waiter or go into retail sales or, like me, become a little league sports official. All are good choices, and being your age you should get paid at least a little over minimum wage (I know very little about min wage in countries other than the US, so I dont know how that works where you're at). I'd just try not to get hung up on being reliant upon your parents and try to be a little more independent. Hope this helps!
How do I get more pocket money from my parents?
i think parents know what we want and when we want and how we want. so i really dont understand why pocket money..then yes it can be thought so that they provide us pocket money,so that we realize the value of it.understand the basic concept of expense and saving.i follow one saying " paer utna hie faelao jitna chadar ho" and yes agar paer sidha karna ho toh,chaddar lambi kro..first you need to realize why you exactly need money..we always manage to have money to suffice our needs but never to meet our expectations.second if you are able to get justifiable logical reasons for increasing your pocket money,then talk to your parents,explain them your point and then if they say yes,its a GO for you.if they no,then do ask why they think so..after hearing them,again check yourself.if you stick to your want of more pocket money then go for third pointthird,you are mature and smart enough to earn something all on yourself.take tutions or charge people for doing their project work or do some commision type work. do anything which helps you not only get money but also help too learn/improve new skills and make you a better person.fourth,you can try asking your parents to pay you more by like say if you study for one more hour they give you 10rs(negotiate your rate).they give you money if you learn/do what you dont want but they want from you(eg-washing their car,doing gardening,helping mom in kitchen,filling up bottles,getting grocery,feeding the dog,meeting the relatives,attending functions). in this way they will become happy and you will become rich.but yes dont charge more and try to get more closer to them in this way and weave a beautiful bond with them.hope it works. all the best
How do I convince my parents to give me pocket money?
A2A.A a kid, I always used to face the same problem. My parentsUsed the same logic on me saying how asking them directly would be best as my needs are (or should be, according to them) very few.Soon I made a friend circle in school and used to hang out with them. I used to feel the need of money. I started stealing small amounts of money from my dad's wallet. Soon it became a habit.I used to steal money and treat my friends. Even to buy them presents without any occasion. I used to go unnoticed as the denominations I stole were small.Soon the habit grew and one day I stole 500 INR from my dad's wallet. I went to my school and straight to its canteen. I purchased some confectionary items and handed him the bill. The officials were surprised to see a kid so young with such a big bill. Suspicious, they asked me my standard and gave me change.5th period, in walks the vice principle, asks my name and drags me to the canteen official to confirm. Once he did, she started slapping me left right and center. She took me to my class teacher and asked her to handle this.I was asked to bring my parents to class the next day.In the evening, my dad find out the missing bill from his wallet and asked me. Soon he learnt the whole episode. He cried in front of me that night. He had absolutely no idea what to do with this.He went to meet my teacher the next day. She sent him to a counsellor for this. He did, and he was advised to start granting me pocket money for me to understand the importance of money and the need to manage it.They did start giving me 10 INR weekly but soon this stopped.I was back to stealing money. I went to the extent to making it a habit then. I rose above this when I grew a teen.The thing is a single thought sparks a chain of thoughts and habits. Better to sublime and work on them before it becomes a bad habit.Make your parents read this story. Maybe that will help.
How can you convince your parents to increase your pocket money?
try and get them to pay you for the chores that you do. that way if you don't do - they don't pay, but if you do it - you both benefit plus you will start learning about earning and budgeting money
How do I convince my parents to increase my pocket money?
As a step parent I can tell you what would make me open my wallet, it may or may not work for you and your parents.Make sure that all of your assigned chores are done well and on time.Tell your parents you want to earn more money and ask if they'd be willing to pay you to do extra chores, over and above your regular. Note, this is why you have to make sure you do your regular chores first. I know I'm not paying for extras if I can't trust them to do the basics.Hopefully they'll be willing to negotiate on a pay per job basis.If they won't entertain that idea, ask them how you can earn an increase in pocket money from them. Some parents (I've heard) are willing to consider paying for grade improvements.Please please take into consideration though that your parents may simply not have enough extra money to increase your pocket money. If they say they don't have more, don't push and don't whine. If they don't have more to give you, ask if they'd mind if you offer to do odd jobs or run errands for some of the neighbours instead.
My parents won't let me spend my own money. What should I do?
Finance - is most often a topic rarely discussed and myriad of mystery.First, understand that 99% of your relationship with money is learned through social influence of watching your parents, siblings, and friends manage their money. Most schools do nothing in the way of educating the youth today about economic and financial concepts.Now that we understand where our views on money come from, it is important to either reinforce our thought paradigm or break it. Do your parents, siblings, and friends have the kind of finances that you want to have 10–20–30–40 years from now? If the answer to that question is no, then it is time to re-learn everything you think you know about money from the kind of people who do have finance that you want to have 10–20–30–40 years from now.As per the specific situation - you earn your own money, you have the right to spend it at your leisure. Your parents may wish to dissuade you from making a foolish purchase, but it is ultimately not their decision to make.So, not knowing the specific circumstances of this tale, (such as, why you just don’t go buy it anyway - is ‘your’ money locked in a safe that you cannot access?) lets get to the convincing part. Flattery will get you everywhere. You may wish to engage your parents into a conversation with ‘I really appreciate you always looking out for my best interests, I have learned a lot about personal finance through your examples and have shown responsibility in earning my own money so that I can purchase a new guitar to further my own personal growth in the arts. As such I hope you can respect why it is important to me to not only set my own financial and personal goals, but also to accomplish them.’
How can I convince my greedy husband to give me pocket money, as I am not working?
Why aren't you working? If he's greedy, then you're a slack. Just get off the couch and get a job.In case you had a predefined agreement that he'd be the bread winner and you'd be the home maker, you're entitled to get money from him. And it's his duty to provide for you financially so that you meet your wants and needs as long as they are reasonable.Just tell him you deserve a share as compensation for taking care of the house, else he can do it all himself, without expecting anything from you.
