Neither I nor my brother get allowance

There’s the article for anyone who wants to contract a disease

bringing the average down I see

My birthday/Christmas gift growing up was that I was allowed to buy a PS2.

⛏🔨🗡this england 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

lol

Hmm. I grew up with 3 sisters. Guess who mowed the lawn and chopped firewood. Of course boys are gonna get more allowance

Okay. This line is actually kinda upsetting: "In year 7, 15 per cent of girls could not name either their mother’s or father’s jobs.
In comparison, only 6 per cent of boys did not know. Girls in year 11 still stood at 9 per cent."

Hmm 🤔

damn where was my $13?

Wow..how entitled.. I never had pocket money.

hell where was my $9.60? i got a dollar a week lmao

But that's normal in the east europe I guess

My dad has had like 6 jobs in the past two years so at this point I've lost track

My allowance went to pay for our internet

The age is a treasure trove of pathetic

It’s amazing

Here’s another

I got decent pay, but thats because i did chores like putting in new flooring and bolting down/tarring new tin roofing

damn those are hardcore chores, i just did stuff like mowing the lawn and walking the dog

r/politics is cancer

baby boys make more money than baby girls through accidental consumption of nickels. change my mind.

Yeah, my parents would give me cash for some real actual work, not house chores.. The idea of getting money every week from parents just because they are my parents is pretty alien to me.

Same

Bolting down roofing is so fun. Being up on a roof as a 14 year old with no harness and an impact driver is exhilarating.

I never had an allowance, but I didn't really do any work so it didn't matter

damn. when i was 14 i couldnt stop touching my weewee long enough to climb up on a roof

'course, that was the year we got internet...

haha

Lol. Renovating old houses was more fun than touching le dingaling

even when i did get internet in '96 it was dial up so i rarely saw any vag. screen usually stopped loading after the boobs

well yeah, i mean when we upgraded to useable internet. i never had the patience for dial-up

Ugh, I remember trying to download roms on dial up

plus my parents made a lot of use of the home phone

I saw that The Age article on my FB feed earlier kek

Yeah, first years of internet for me wasn't porn at all. Impossible. I was happy I could paly Ultima and don't exceed my limits. Which, iirc was about 500mb

Dunno why, but dial up used to have data limits here

Which is more surprising when ADSL came out, no data limits at all.
