Re: Pocket Money
We never got pocket money, we had a large family so not enough money for luxuries.My grandma gave is nine pence each every Sunday and that paid for a Saturday matinee at the cinema, which cost sixpence and three pence paid for our Saturday sweets. That was the only treat we had but we didn't do jobs for it. We did however have chores at home, for which we were not paid but we did them anyway. I chose to spend my sweet money very carefully and saved a penny for a treat during the week. It taught me to be careful how I spent money and to prioritise.
