That sounds really reasonable, actually.

My 10 year old brother just started getting an allowance. Mom's initial thought was that she was going to give him $10/week and make him tithe $2 to church, but dad threw a hissy fit that he never got more than $5/week growing up, and won't let Jeffrey have more than $5/week... so they're not putting any requirements on him tithing unless mom can negotiate a raise.

I've always been under the mindset that when my kids get an allowance, I'll probably make them save a certain amount, and allocate money to certain things... I'm assuming if my son gets $10, then I'll have him save $2, tithe $1, put $1 towards the charity of his choice, and spend the other $6 as he chooses. If he saves $2 a week, then in a year, he'll have a little over $100 saved up for something big... figure he does that over several years, and he'll be able to buy something pretty cool for himself when he gets older.
