The French are big fans of saving for years. Some of them teach their children to do this already from the age of 5-6, when they begin to receive pocket money.
They love to punish. The French are also distinguished by the fact that they like to fine their children. For example, they take away 5 euros from the total amount of pocket money for some wrongdoing. Or they simply reduce or increase their size depending on the behavior of the child.
How much do they give. On average, a primary and secondary school student receives 5-12 euros per week, and those who are older - 20-30 euros. “Giving pocket money to children, we do not expect that they will have enough for everything. They need this money so that they simply learn how to handle it. And French schoolchildren earn extra money, as a rule, by babysitting. For example, for 3 hours of such work you can get 25-30 euros.
After school, out. And already in the first year of university, some parents let their children go swimming freely. But there is nothing extreme about it. Firstly, there are a dime a dozen options to earn some money. Secondly, renting housing for French youth is profitable: each student can receive a state subsidy for living. Savings on housing costs can reach up to 40% of the monthly rent.
