Image via WikipediaThis week we implemented a new weekly chores list and allowance for our son. At 12 years old we feel it is time for him to learn the value of money. The way the new system works is my Son has a few chores he must do every day or week just because he is part of the family, he doesn’t get paid for any of this work. He than has a few chores that he can chose to do and he earns a commission for each one that he does. All chores done by Saturday at 5pm will be paid out that week and all chores done after Saturday at 5pm will be paid out the following week. Below is a copy of the chores he can choose to do and the commission he makes for doing each chore.
