Well, hey you guys. So as a personal finance expert, who's also a mom, I get a lot of questions

when it comes to kids and money, which makes sense because I think as parents, we want to raise

our kids to be great adults in life and part of great adulting is understanding

how money works.

And also I talk to some people that say, I wish I had known this earlier.

And they're passing that on to their kids saying, if you can get this early, you can

avoid so many mistakes that I made as a parent when it comes to money.

So the motivation is so great and I love the conversation.

So today I'm sharing my take on whether or not your kids should get paid for household chores.

It's a very hot topic these days.

Stick around, hit that subscribe button, and also let me know your thoughts in the comments as we go.

So typically there's two different opinions on this topic.

It's either kids should never get paid

for any chores around the house. They are part of the family and they should just learn to help out.

And the other side is like, no, pay kids on everything because it teaches them earning money

and work ethic. There's so many great learning opportunities. So there's like these two extremes

and I'll be honest, I land right in the middle.

And the way my parents always did it growing up is that we were on the commission system,

not allowance. So if you work, you get paid. If you don't work, you don't get paid. But there's

also a few chores you're going to do because you're part of the family. There's also a set number of chores that you can do to earn money if that's what you want to do.

So again, falling in the middle, I think, is really the healthiest balance on both of them

because there's such, you know, great learnings on both sides of that argument.
