Agreed. I recently talked my ex-wife into paying him an allowance for things like doing the dishes, feeding the cat and taking out the garbage. He's not too young to start learning a decent work ethic (granted, I slip some cash into the piggy bank where he stores his allowance when he's not around).
Last Thursday he wanted an egg beater of all things. Yes, a real egg beater. It was $14. His mother told him that if he wanted it he'd have to buy it himself. So he spent his money on an egg beater. He's so proud of spending his own money on that. He takes it with him everywhere. Even today he had it with him.
