You need more money? get a small part time job and earn it...

Answer 2

hey well, im not sure if your parents are even going to use this info in determining your pocket money, infact it will probably be easier to get the money than to get them to refer to this as a source, i will tell you this here in the united states when i was in school not working my parents gave me 40 dollars a week, but i had to buy lunch everyday at school with it which was about 4 dollars a day or 20 a week, usually i just wouldnt eat and save the money, also i had chances to mow lawn or somthing and make a few more bucks, i would suggest this, get all the numbers, how much you spend on lunch, how much 1 cinema is a week, and put it down and tell them like 10 more euros or somthing would really help out, and to deserve the money you will do a list of certain things every week, good luck with that it isnt easy.

i will tell you this when i wanted more pocket money, my grandpa told my mom for me and then i got a raise so talk to your grandpa

Answer 3

I never got an allowance so good for you! I say cut back on something- this is your lunch money so you need that. Budget- is the cinema more important than the comic books? Are both important? Why not save it up and spend it on something nice that you will need- like a car in a few years? You're 14 years old- no, you don't need much money.

Answer 4

talk to them about the extra chores and extra money.
trully they dont even need to give you the money that they do in the first place, they work hard in providing for you, isnt that enough?
find ways to get more money by helping neighbors and what not, dont demand money from your parents
