There are different points of view according to pocket money.

Some people say that it is good when parents give pocket money. The main reason for giving pocket money is to help children learn to manage money while they are young.  Pocket money can help children feel that they are important members of the family. It helps children to make choices. And parents stop giving pocket money if  child has done something wrong.

But some parents say that it is bad to give pocket money to a child. They think that they are too young and they can buy something bad – alcohol, much sweet, cigarettes.  So in some families children are given what they ask for and do not get pocket money.

As for me my parents give me pocket money once a week. I can buy a cake or I can go to the cinema or can save them to buy something expensive. I think it is good  to give pocket money but only when parents see that their child is responsible for his actions.

There are many holidays in our country, the 8th of March is one of them.
