Chores and money

Everyday chores vs. paid extra jobs.

4 min read

Families handle chores and money differently. Many separate everyday family chores from extra jobs that can earn money.

One approach

  • Everyday chores, like making the bed or clearing the table, are part of being in a family
  • Extra jobs, like washing the car or raking leaves, can earn money
  • Agree the job, the standard and the pay before starting
  • Pay when the job is done, not before
