I wanted to share something that we recently started with our kids that you mentioned. After a couple of years of giving our kids an allowance we switched to a commission based plan. This has helped us out in a couple of ways.<br><br>1. When we were paying an allowance and something didn't get done I would get upset with my kids. I would have to cajole them to do their chores. Not something I was to fond of doing. In my mind I was paying so they need to do what was expected of them, but this wasn't a good thing for me or for them.<br><br>2. Once going to a commission based system I've been able to release this area of tension by letting them be 100% responsible for their tasks. If it doesn't get done they don't get paid. This has happened a few times, but they quickly realize that there is no money on payday. <br><br>We have had a number of crying outbursts on payday because there was only $.25 earned. Then there are those paydays when everything was completed and the cheers that we hear are of joy and accomplishment. <br><br>This has truly helped us teach them about money.<br><br>Again great show.

This has truly helped us teach them about money.

Again great show.
