Well, it's a good question. I feel like the reason that some parents give their children money to spend each week is that when you give the money to them, they can manage their money by themselves. I think they learn a lot about it. It's not just about the money; it's about how to manage life in the future because one day they need to grow up and be an adult, right? So, I feel like that's the reason why parents usually give their children money to spend each week by themselves.
