As a kid I made a lot more money finding and cleaning up returnable bottles than what my parents gave me.
Chores were pretty light anyway.
Bottles..often lifted off someone’s back porch. Lawn mowing for others, leaf racking, babysitting,,,anything to make money. Allowance? Net of room and board that was pretty much zero. From 13 on they never gave me a cent..and I didn’t need it.
