Billionaire John D. Rockefeller knew what he was doing when he educated his children about money using the allowance system, says Mackey. Determine how much money you currently spend on your child for non-necessities per month, things like toys, games, videos, CDs, etc. Think of these as WANTS, rather than NEEDS and help your child to think the same. Then start out with that amount of money and allow your child to earn it.
