Disadvantages of pocket money.

Today I have been learning about how to write an argument, my topic is about the disadvantages of pocket money. Down below Is my argument, I hope you learn why children shouldn't have pocket money.

Firstly, I firmly believe that adults should truly consider not giving pocket money to their children. I have 3 main reasons why kids should not have pocket money and I hope parents learn a lot of interesting facts about the disadvantages of pocket money.

Without a doubt, I think if you give your children pocket money they will be too busy spending money and will not take care of their money. I strongly believe if an adult doesn’t supervise their child with spending money then kids will spend money on things that they don’t need, inappropriate things and lastly frivolous junk. For example, they will constantly spend money and after that they might become flat out selfish.

In this situation, they will become spoilt and will ask for more and more money on things that are foolish. Kids will not understand the worth and value of one dollar. Secondly, they will think that money grows on trees and last but not least they will not respect their family and they will spend money immediately without a second thought. Undoubtedly, you are a part of a family and everyone does jobs that need to be done such as making your bed, washing the dishes, cleaning the dining table, doing the lawn, folding the laundry, vacuuming the house and much more.

Another important reason is that kids do not make the right decisions and will get into trouble for how they spend money. For example - the consequences will turn out bad in a situation and they will not own up to their mistake or will not rectify their mistake ( example, bringing money to school ). Most parents make money and they work as hard as they can to earn money, overall they have to pay bills like the grocery's, electricians, water  and loads more and if your kid gets pocket money and spend it on careless things it wouldn’t be very helpful.

Lastly, make sure to keep these 3 important points in mind before you give money to your kids. Teach children to have a correct attitude towards wealth and lastly teach them how to spend money smartly, wisely and responsibly. I believe and I hope you believe now that kids shouldn't have pocket money. Please consider not giving pocket money to your kids.

I hope you learnt lots about the disadvantages of pocket money, thanks for reading.
