📋 House Rules
Allowance is paid every Sunday — cash is best so it feels real!
Chores are not for pay — they're how we take care of our home together.
Base pay is tracked daily across 4 goals — partial pay for partial effort.
Bonuses are earned and awarded by parents — no lobbying allowed 😄
Money spent from Spend jar is your choice — parents won't second-guess it.
