Some people think that giving children a certain amount of money every week will help them have fewer financial problems in the future . To what extent do you agree or disagree?
The idea that a regular allowance can help children avoid financial difficulties as adults is compelling, and I largely agree. A consistent weekly allowance teaches budgeting skills, instilling in children the importance of managing finite resources. By allocating a set amount each week, children learn to prioritize spending and save for future needs, an experience that mirrors real-life financial decisions and fosters responsible habits essential in adulthood.
