The damn kid is 9. When I was nine, I would buy penny candy 9 at a time to avoid paying the tax on it lol
And yes Matt still has access to penny candy, just his idea's of spending money is on something other than candy lol
Old is when you can remember 23 cent gasolone

Old is when you remember FDR's inauguration
My allowance when I was 9 was $5 a week, but that was because I was also taking out the trash and cooking dinner once a week as well.
Matt don't have to do that yet, as I'm more than happy to take my trash out and cook meals. I do make him keep his room "clean", but his idea and mine of clean are totally opposite of each other

FDR? FDR?? LOL That was weeeeeell before my time. ;D
We weren't all that well off when I was a kid (that was well before you) LOL... and although I had to help pretty much at home, I never got any pocket money. And then again, I got my 3 square meals a day and I guess that was all I needed. I knew other kids that got some money put in their hands to go and buy themselves some food because their parents were both at work and didn't have the time to cook. At least I had my mum at home who was a great cook. She could use the most plain food items and make a good-tasting meal of it. ;D
Old is when you no longer want to leave the house...
