Giving children an allowance is what Singaporean parents do to provide the funds their children need for daily expenses and to also help them learn about managing money. More than just giving your children cash, however, the future is a cashless society, so we must adapt and use digital money management.
It’s important to figure out the right amount and how to support children to use their money to improve their financial skills.
