What's a good allowance per week for a 14 year old?

[Sk8GameFreak]

I'm trying to persuade my parents into giving me an allowance, I want this new graphics card for my computer and it's 175 dollars. I talked my parents into giving me 5 dollars a week, what's an appropriate amount for a 14 year old?

If you don't do a lot of stuff around the house or anything, you don't deserve an allowance. Even then, I don't have one and I do a lot of chores.

[Caution]

Depends if you work for it.

If you do stuff I'd say $20 for assorted things like lawn mowing, dishes, vacuuming and whatever else is good.

Sell stuff. Works for me. Or invest in some stock.

It depends on how helpful you are around the house. Between 5-10 bucks is a good place to start, and if your parents seem to be fine with it, just put in a little extra effort with chores and maybe yard work if that applies to you, and they should (KEY WORD SHOULD) increase it. Best of luck, my allowance didn't work out because I had to bring my check book to my parents every friday and i always forgot. Taught me to not forget though...

I had an allowance once when I was young.
Parents quickly decided that I shouldn't get paid to do yard work and chores of that such.

[Altered]

A dollar for every chore.

forget allowances

when I was a boy, I had no allowance and I lived in a stuffty shack with my poor ass parents and a grandmother who stays in bed 24/7 rolling around in her own stuff. Once a year I'd get a loving 2 dollar chocolate bar, and the best thing that happened was that I got a loving ticket to get a tour around a chocolate manufacturing plant by some child rapist in a purple hat.

God damn you I was gonna say in the beginning something about that and then I finished reading and was like you suck.

If you're not smart, you will go far.
You will live in happiness too, likely oompa, loompa, doopity-loving-doo.

I'm pretty damn smart, and software developers in Las Vegas can name their price.
