Oh, we got docked, too! My brother would spend his allowance first day and then spend the rest of the week nagging me for a loan. He still brings that up when we get together! LOL! If I loaned him some, he had to pay back with interest.
I should have been a banker! *snork*
LOL! My brother did the same thing but I rarely gave him a loan. That left me with even less to get through the week.
Our allowances were deliberately fairly small. That was to teach us to save if we wanted something that cost more than we got each week.
So he either backed off on his spending for a week here and there or did without . :-)
