Age 4 doesn't seem to young for an allowance. We have given our daughter money for quite a while. I cannot recall what the age was when we began. Once she was able to do small things around the house beyond picking up her toys I've given her a coin or two as a reward. She's learned that when she goes above and beyond a clean room and picking up her things she'll earn a little. At this point she's only 5 so she doesn't have many regular chores. When she does get more chores than she'll get more money for doing extra. Nothing wrong with teaching them the value of money and how to handle it responsibly. The younger the start the better.
