In this episode of Real Talk with Ben & Kimi, we dive into the world of kids and allowance—what we grew up with, what we're doing now, and the pros and cons of different systems. From fixed allowances to chore-based commissions to teaching kids about tithing and budgeting, we unpack it all with humor and honesty. Should kids get paid to exercise and read their Bible? Should they be expected to clean up just because they live in the house? We also share some real-life stories about how our own kids handle money (spoiler: some are savers, others are spenders). If you're a parent trying to raise responsible, generous kids in a world of entitlement, this episode is for you.

🎯 Topics Covered:

• The 6 most common allowance systems

• Why not everything needs a payout

• Encouraging wise spending, saving, and giving

• Creating charts that actually work

• And yes… our take on Santa 🎅
