When I was a child I received a 25 cent allowance each week. This gave me 9 cents for Saturday matinee at the movies, 10 cents for a box of popcorn and 5 cents for a candy bar leaving me with 1 cent I used to buy some Double-Bubble bubble gum. Can't do that today! But that was 1945 and 46. Today I am on an allowance called Social Security which really doesn't give me enough to live on.

My SS is far below the national average because I was a teacher and didn't pay into SS all those years. Also because I will get some from teacher retirement, SS will take 2/3 rds of it so i will not end up any better off. Because I am almost 80 I cannot get disability although I was working full time as a school bus driver when I had a stroke and lost most of my vision so I could no longer drive. If the government can screw its people it will! -

I've found just the opposite! If not for the VA hospital I'd be dead. The government paid me the best wages I've ever earned, and now the only money I get $750 a month comes from them and I'm also using government assisted housing and I get $15 a month in food stamps! Wait! It sounds to me like the government employed you all your life! -

A Student Allowance is a weekly payment that can help with your living expenses ... You do have to pay back the living costs, as it's part of the Student Loan.

I'm not a student at the moment. But that's good information to have. However, I try not to go into debt. Some students also get money from their parents, some people give themselves or their spouse a budgeted allowance of sorts for personal items, and some don't even think about how they spend their money.

My pay is an ounce of weed per week. I'm a caregiver. Sometimes I "almost" want to care enough to give some to mom. :P

Not if you're getting an ounce a week!! You should be able to pull a profit off that! -

HA! Fat chance making it 6 days without having to re-up. xD -

That's a choice and a matter of rationing.

For the first time span in my life, I'm only doing one regular job. From age 12 until I took my current job, I always had at least two jobs. I never had to ask my parents for allowance, but they used to pay me a few bucks when I got A's on my report card as a kid.

Well at least now you can spend more time with your kids while they are young! That's important!

One they put themselves on for budgeting purposes. Like I said if you don't like the question skip it, then go write 5 interesting questions for everyone to answer. And you didn't answer the question. -
Victorine
A budget is not synonymous with an allowance, which is allotted by someone other than oneself. -
Linda Joy
I can't believe you were a teacher and can't even answer this simple question. Here, I'll make it multiple choice to help you out. A. Yes B. No. Simple, right?

-
Yes. I can only allow myself to spend $800 per month more than my social security check automatically deposits in my checking account each month. If I had known I was going to live this long I would have worked another 3 to 5 years before retiring early. In my case that old song "THE ROAD GO'S ON FOREVER & THE PARTY NEVER ENDS " turned out to be true.
-
A trust fund? Yes. And it's called a monthly budget, not an allowance. The latter is for children...and leftist basement-dwellers parasitizing Commie Mommie and Daddy.
-
Yup, it's called "social security".
-
Yes. I am on a certain type of allowance from the government.
-
I guess that depends on how you look at it.I'm on Social Security & sometimes I think an allowance would be a better deal!!!
-
yes. social security and a pension
