I'm getting $5K per week. I'm 31 and I live with my parents still. I never had a job never went to college. I drive a Jag, H2, RR, and a choper made by Paul and Paul.
 
My parents were hard ass on me. Never got allowance unless I worked my butt off for it. I'm 25 now and make about $5K a month as a freelance.
 
I'm 22 and my parents pay my rent or don't charge me rent which ever way you want to look at it, fix my meals pretty much whenever I decide to eat at home, and do my laundry for the most part as well. Oh, and I don't do a damn thing around the house to help out. I'm so spoiled it is great!
 
Bout $1000 a month, so about $250 a week and a lil extra if I ever need it. My lil brother gets $100 to cut the grass.
 
I work and pay bills, I don't get to have this thing called "money" anymore.

But even when I was younger, I got no allowance.

Edit: 27 yo
 
I am the giver of allowance, and I give my kids Jack Squat for allowance. Hell, they get free room and board, why should I give them money also?

Hey, I think I knew his half-brother, Jack Schitt. 😀

I bet at least 1/4 of the people who said "I got nothing" actually got an allowance, because saying "I work for my money" makes them a bigger man.

Is it that hard to grasp that people actually didn't get handouts? 😛
