Parents know that teaching children to manage spending money can be a real headache. Comic books, sweets... the temptations are many, and they were even more so during lockdown. One study looked at how British and American children have spent their pocket money since the beginning of the pandemic. Not surprisingly, many are falling for video games like "Fortnite" and Roblox.
The RoosterMoney application conducted a "Kids' Allowance Report" study between April and June, involving 40,000 children in the United States and 24,000 children in the United Kingdom, all between the ages of four and 14.
Even though American children get much more pocket money per week than British children (US$8.91 versus about US$6 (RM37: RM25)), they all spent some of their savings on video games during the last few months of confinement.
