Pocket Money Scaled to Your Country
Age-appropriate pocket money, scaled to what a childhood costs where you live rather than to a US default.
A common benchmark is roughly half a unit of local currency per year of age per week, giving about $5 a week at ten and $3,276 in total by 18 if it rises with age.
