We will start when they reach kindergarten. We won't give a set amount, rather there will be a bunch of chores with different dollar amounts and they can choose how much they'd like to earn. If they don't want to do any chores that's fine, but they won't earn any money. That's the plan for now anyway.

DH & I discussed this quite a bit. We agreed that they will have certain chores that they are expected to do as members of the household and will receive no allowance or whatever (making their beds, vacuuming, doing dishes). There will be a list of additional chores/things to do that they can do to earn money (mow the lawn, wash the car). Obviously, the chores will be dependent on their age, but we feel they should contribute to maintaining the home that we provide. We hope it will teach them that there are things they will have to do in life that are necessary without reward. Also, that there are opportunities that will provide benefits, whatever they are.
