Young kids only do easy housework. So they don’t get much money. But that’s all right. Many of them only want to buy candy. And candy is cheap! They help wash up after dinner and feed the family cat or dog.

When they get older, kids want to buy more and more things. They want things that are more expensive than candy. Then they have to work harder! They often wash the family car, cut the grass, walk the dog or cook dinner. It is really a good way for kids to learn to do some new things. Of course, their parents will help them learn something at first. For example, parents often teach them how to cook before they can.
