What's your allowance?

Since most of us are at an age where they still live with their parents, some of us gets allowance. So the question is, how much do you get(if any) and do you have to do something special to get it?

Each week, I get 100 kr, which is approx. 9.95644 £/18.5260 $ according to a currency calculator(no, I won't bother making them proper numbers, I get enough maths at school, thank you very much). I don't have to do much, but I'm expected to do my chores when I get any.

So, how about you?

I get 50 dollars (27.88 pounds) a month but theres a twist: I CAN'T USE ANY OF IT!!! I wouldnt consider it an allowance. Meh.
 
...Pikachu, you get $50?

I get, erm, £10(20 pounds-ish) pocket money a month. But I also get £1 (2 dollars-ish) every day except Sunday from my Paper Round.
 
Yeah I do. Now I wouldnt say my parents are filthy rich but we're not exactly a regular family.
 
I get $0 and 0 cents each and every day of my life! It's like I said in that other thread about money, I don't carry or handle the currency. (I'm too scatterbrained and irreponsible to trust with cash. I lose things quite easily) My parents do.

If I want something, I just ask them, and they buy it. (Well, actually, they'll only buy it if they feel like it. Most of the time, they won't buy it... so, yeah. We're a bit short on money, so I can't ask for much. I get mainly everything on Christmas and my Birthday and that's it.)
 
Unfortunately, my family's not the most financially stable... even if I did get an allowance, I'd feel bad for it. We just need the money for things like debt and stuff right now.
 
I ask and receive. It's generally been a good system but I think I should get a job so that I can use my money on important things. Things that I want. :(
 
I once went to fast food twice a week, and my parents were fine with it and payed 21 dollars a week for it. Then, I figured out that I could turn it to my advantage and asked my mom if I could have the money for personal spending instead of fast food. She was fine with it, considering I'd be spending it anyway, and now I get $21.00 a week, and can finally make up for not getting an allowance for the last 3 years.
 
I used to, I think, in some way... but now I just occasionally get a sum of money on a yearly basis, that I rarely spend.

I just pick up change that I find lying around and get it swapped in for notes when I have enough, and then spend that. ;)
 
Heh. "Officially", I get £1 a week, but this usually ends up as "Okay Hannah, you can have these clothes because I haven't given you pocket money in ages", or something like that. Or, well, I'm not even sure if I "officially" get £1 a week any more. I probably don't.
 
£10 a week. Generally, this just accumulates, but I've taken a liking to Stargate recently and I've started buying the DVDs, so it's obviously not just accumulating at the moment.
 
I get 10 Australian dollars every fortnight, to get that I have to make my bed, feed our dog, open blinds, get clothes off the line and if Mum couldn't finish the dishes while we're in school, I finish them.
 
I get $5 a week, but I get paid every 2 weeks, so I guess $10 for two weeks. But soon I'll be getting a job, so MORE MONEY!!! YAY!!!
 
Uh, two jobs.

One pays $6.50 an hour (Woo below minimum wage) plus $10 on Sundays and $15 on Holidays for showing up on those days. The new one pays about $10 including night extras, not to mention I'm picking up more hours. Sooooo... I make about $160 a month at the clinic and will probably be making over $600 a month at the other one.
