Average Weekly Allowance For Kids Is Now $30 Per Week

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- How much did you get for an allowance when you were a kid?

A new survey shows the average weekly allowance for kids is now $30 a week.

Parents expect their kids to do just over five hours of chores to earn that money.

The survey also found that kids' allowance rates were increasing at a faster pace than American wages.

Also, the survey suggests that for the most part, allowance money is rarely saved by the recipient.
