Children and Allowances

0 Spot It!

Before I discuss my views on allowances let me go bar my front door, pull my shades, and shut off all my lights. I need to hide from those who will want to tar and feather me. Ok - here goes:I don't believe in allowances, and I don't believe kids need allowances in order to learn the value of money or importance of managing it wisely.

Make it a habit to know you have your keys in pocket ANY time you leave your house, even for the mail. Again, one day you'll be glad you did. If you...

"What Are 'Adipose Hankies'"?
The following piece was written as kind of joke, when several people on HubPages were joking about spun articles. Someone got the idea that it would funny if a bunch of people wrote their own Hub (article) about "adipose hankies". It was kind of a challenge.
