I had chores (dishwashing, laundry, vacuuming, which I did with the expected grumbling) and I had an allowance, and I understood that one had nothing to do with the other. Then, in high school, I wanted additional horseback riding lessons, so I proposed to do the grocery shopping and cook dinner in addition to my other chores if I could have the money to pay for the lessons. Since I liked to cook and was horse-crazy, it was a good deal for me, and since both my folks worked, they got a hot meal ready for them at the end of a hard day at work, so it was a good deal for them.
