We launch Quiddo here on Wednesday, and before then I'd like to hear how other families handle something we've argued about at our place for years.
My wife and I have four kids. Our rule is that everyday jobs, like emptying the dishwasher or feeding the cats, aren't paid, but if they don't get done, pocket money waits until we decide whether to release it. Bigger jobs, like washing the car, earn extra on top.
Some parents think tying pocket money to chores teaches kids they only help the family when they're paid. Others think pocket money should be earned, full stop. Plenty of families skip pocket money altogether.
Quiddo tracks pocket money and chores for families who don't want to give their kids a debit card. You keep paying the way you already do, with your own card or cash, and log it in the app. Kids open Quiddo on their own device to see their balance and savings goals. Pocket money goes out on a set day and can depend on chores getting done. $15 a year for the whole family, on iOS, Android and the web. Built by a Melbourne family with four kids.
