How to track pocket money to give kids? (chores, son, insurance)

[monekid]

I have a problem when kids should get 5USD every week and some more when they behave well but I never have exact amount of cash.

How do you keep track and remember how much pocket money you should give to kids?

$1 per year, He need to do his chores, but it more or less a salary. My 16y son get $16/wk I dont put any limits on (more or less) what he can spend it on.

You keep it in an envelope hidden in your desk or dresser.

Calculate the amount, withdraw it at one time (or twice a year or once a month or whatever your budget can handle) and keep it handy in an envelope.

Sorry, the bolded doesn't make sense to me. Are you trying to remember how much you HAVE given at a certain point in time, or during a specific time frame?

We deposit it directly into their bank accounts electronically.

I give my son $100 on the first of each month. After that I don't need to keep track of it.

What age??

There's probably an app to help you remember to give the money and to keeps tabs on what's been given. My 7 year old does a pretty good job reminding me to get cash back when we are out shopping and when she's done what she needs to do to earn it.

Wow. When our son was 16 he was giving us $100 a month to cover his phone and car insurance.....
