6000 units in 2011. Besides, the sales figure for VHS received dramatic plunges to
score at a diminutive number of only 10000 units in 2005 from the highest of

Granting children a small amount of money to spend is a prevailing norm
among different countries around the world. As a result, a portion states
that children having pocket money weekly may have lesser financial
problems once becoming mature. Personally judging, a sharp disagreement is
my point of views as securing economic status requires many different
environmental situations and intensive education from both parents and
teachers. Additionally, pocket money may not have significant impacts on the
financial behaviors of adults.

Firstly, granting pocket money decreases the possibility of controlling the

purchasing activities of children, which can be uncontrolled and
inappropriate as children generally possess little knowledge related to the
outside environment. In detail, kids often use the given money to buy candy,
personal treats, and simple games, but their understanding of the quality of
purchased stuff is diminutive. As a result, children may tend to buy
problematic products or even underpricing toys made by dangerous
substances, leading to similar inappropriate shopping activities when they
become adults.
 Secondly, providing money may also nurture and enhance the shopping
demands of children, which can eventually lead to uncontrollable behaviors
once their parents refuse to satisfy the requirement. In detail, children may
fail to possess the understanding of how much money should they spend or
their limitations on the price of items. As a result, children with pocket
money may want to buy a specific thing to an excessive level, and parents
often provide only a certain amount. Consequently, children may manage all
methods to get money, such as taking cash without acceptance from parents
or friends.

To conclude, educating children to use money is inevitable and crucial,

but giving a certain amount of money every week fails to secure a lesser
number of problems after becoming mature. Also, giving children
household tasks to do their works and granting permission to buy things with
the control of parents are beneficial approaches.
