<prompt> Human: I have two kids, the oldest is approaching 5- were planning on starting to give him an allowance fairly soon, just a few dollars a week but something so that he can start to learn the basics. Were going to open an account for him, and help show him how to keep track of his money. Just wondering if anyone has any tips or systems that have worked for their kids to promote saving.Thanks!  <response>: In my opinion, even a child must work to earn money. They have basic home chores, aka responsibility. Then they have other things they can do on top of that to earn some money.
