I see inflation had already crept in - growing up in the 40s and 50s the allowance was $.25 ...
I never got an allowance. By 12 I was mowing three lawns all summer. So that was $15 a week. This was in addition to ours.
I hate mowing lawns.
My dream house sits on a big cement pad without any lawn.
Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s sucked.

Me too... $.25 was my weekly allowance... and saved it. And a nickel for working in tobacco field for a day.
Great pixs in the post... a little after my time. I grew up in the 50s and 60s. First pix brought back a big memory, my first car sitting there... 57 Chevy.
#3 I got .25 while my older sister got use of a credit card. My parents would stiff me out of the quarter!
***I see inflation had already crept in***
that’s because LBJ took the silver out of money and replaced it with printer’s ink. Instant inflation.
