Paris is offline this weekend so he has asked me to write a guest post for him. The topic? Allowances and cyberchores.
According to a Stars for Kidz, a U.S. research firm, almost half of kids 8 to 14 years old are doing cyberchores for their parents. Read the press release . Cyberchores include helping parents share photos online, help with emails, assist with online vacation planning, and downloading driving directions. The kids claim their parents are "clueless" online.
Hmmm.... cyberchores might be a good thing to add to your chores for getting an increase in your allowance. Or perhaps trade "taking out the garbage" for "help with the computer" on your current chore list.
As Neil Randall from the University of Waterloo says, "What child isn't willing to sacrifice taking out the garbage to help upload pictures?"

- I am 13. I want to be a financial advisor when I grow up. They say I have 1200 characters, so I'm gonna utilize this space. Hmm, make sure to refer this blog to other people, because if no one goes to my site, I'll eat this coin I'm holding. There's a story behind this coin. The year was 1942, and the war was at it's peak. Young Jeremiah, the ammo boy for troop 17b, was just running across the street to give the gunners some ammo. Well, what happened next was a blur. This coin was Jeremiah's lucky coin, and a bullet that had been fired at him hit him right in the pocket, the exact spot where his coin was. Now normally, coins aren't very strong, as in this case, and the bullet pierced the coin and killed Jeremiah. Strawberry ice cream is best when they have berry chunks in it, and Homer is my favourite Simpsons character, followed by Apu.
