Allowance to Child as Road to Economy
The article advocates early child allowances as a practical path to sound finances. Ruth Wardell of the University of Iowa argues allowances should start around ages six to seven, funding needed school supplies and modest luxuries, then expanding as children age. Emphasis is on budgeting, saving, and investing part of the allowance, ideally in government securities, to foster self-reliance and responsible citizenship. It cites examples from Cleveland and Chicago families and contrasts a potential diamond gift with War Savings Stamps for long term value.
