First of I don’t have children but, R40 a week? When I was at school I made between R60 and R120 a day. At age 10 I stared fixing computers and got good at it. I could handle almost any system apple or Dos MS I got the stuff working.

I never used to ask for pocket money or anything because I had skills, skills that I thought that would carry me throughout my life... “I was dead wrong” So here is the deal you must consider, bestowing hard work on your kids for R40 is counterproductive. Give them a reason to study! A good report card = good money. A bad report card = more time to study and less time to play.
