Too much allowance for a teenage girl?

Hi,

As far as I'm concerned allowance money should give a child some spending money but it should also be a lesson in managing your own funds. I think that 50$ a week can easily be cut down to 30 or 25 depending on where you love and what your expenses are but the point is really to give enough money that can enable some play. I don't mean playing with the money but rather using it in order to achieve goals such as saving up for something or simply using it wisely. That way a child can learn the valuable lesson of appreciating ones money.

Good luck with this issue.
