One thing my dad that kind of kept the amount of money we got relative to what we needed was set it as our age, but there was a catch: half the money had to go into savings, and we were taught how to use the bank and had savings accounts from an early age.
Now, to get our allowance, we had to show Dad that we had completed our chores for the week, were being good kids, and were doing well in school.
I don't think 4 is too young for a small allowance, especially if you drill home the responsibility issue time and time again and make them earn it a little, since 4 is about the age when kids can start helping with the chores.
