  Speaker 2: big Atari fan, and all the games cost around twenty bucks.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: And I remember when I got that twenty bucks, I
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: was usually thinking about what the next game.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: I was going to get.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Oh so, if my memory serves me correctly, it might
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: have been twenty maybe ten in the very early stages.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: But it wasn't like a nickel or a dollar back
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: in the dinner of the stage. Yes, we were already
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: starting high in the eighties.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Oh you needed to Yes. Well, I'm reading now that
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the average kid is now earning fifty two dollars a
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: month in allowances, and they're saying that rate has jumped
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: tremendously because it's tougher times. The kids are like, I
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: need more money.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: That's about what fifteen bucks a week?
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and parents are parents are going along with it.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: They say they do it to teach their children responsibility
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: with money, and they believe that should start at the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: age of ten. So you're your guys and producer Kristen,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: your kids are too young, right basically, Like according.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: To this, Naomi is almost six and she's already talking
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: about money. Like she sees a dollar on the table
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and she's like, Dad, can I have this? And I'll
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: tell her to put her in a piggy bank if she.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Sees it so cute. If she'll find maybe a straggler
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: hanging around.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: The house, So maybe you teach her like if she
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: saves up a little bit, then she can go buy something.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: She does take money right from what she sees something,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: She'll take it right to her piggy bank. So she
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: knows about saving up already. Yeah, we're not doing allowances yet,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: but that time will come. Yeah, that cat litter and
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: you get a dollar.

• 1:57
  Speaker 3: I feel like your house.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: No allowances, no allowance, no chores were expected, no allowances.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Well there are a lot of homes that are like that.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just kind of I don't know. I think
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I felt like more kids around me were getting allowances
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and we weren't. But that could have been my perspective.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Produce A.

• 2:17
  Speaker 2: are you do you plan on doing allowances for chores?
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: No? No, just it's expected.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, that was the same in your household growing up,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Producer Christ, And yeah, yeah, the same as as for me.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so that's the going rate for kids right
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: now is fifty two dollars a month a month, and
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: not all parents expect and the kids to do chores
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: for that. But it's just cute some of the things
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: that kids have spent their allowance on. What can we
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: just go through? Yeah, a spider sold by a classmate.
