Money moves the heart—this was a universal truth.
Especially in this capital-first nation, ordinary families would, in order to train their children's financial management skills, give them an allowance every month from a young age. Like salaries, allowances were paid monthly. If they could not use them wisely and spent them all ahead of time, they would find themselves short on money.
First, this let children understand the use of money; second, it helped them develop the habit of not spending extravagantly.
Of course, this only applied to ordinary families.
If a family was too poor—forget about allowances.
As for wealthy families...
Every family had its own rules. Take the Shinomiya Family, for example. As far as Sogo Doma knew, young lady Kaguya Shinomiya had never lacked small change. She normally carried at least several hundred thousand Fukuzawa Yukichis in her wallet. Ahem, that was also why Sogo Doma had initially wanted young lady Shinomiya to invest.
But what Sogo Doma had not expected was that while Kaguya Shinomiya did not lack small money, she lacked big money!
Still, some old-established families were exceptionally strict with their children. The family might have money, but they would not let their children flaunt it too much—like the Doma Family before.
Sogo Doma had only received an increase in his allowance after making a huge fuss. After that, once he had demonstrated his abilities, Keiryu Doma had basically given him whatever he asked for—as long as that was before he left the Doma Family.
Leaving aside the wealthy and the poor, let's talk about ordinary families.
For most families, allowances were fixed. High school boys could usually get around 1,000 to 3,000 Fukuzawa Yukichis a month, while girls got a little more, though only around 5,000 to 8,000.
