No allowance. Any money I got as a child I earned for work done, chiefly babysitting starting at around eleven or twelve, and even then it was only for neighbor children. Taking care of my yonger siblings was just my family duty as the oldest child. My parents took care of necessities like food and clothes, and that was it. Being a somewhat pretty girl with "a reputation" helped a bit, because I never had to come up with money for dates, which was good, given that I didn't have any.
