How much pocket money did you used to get in primary school and what did you used to spend them on 👧🏻👦🏻?

About $2 in lower pri, $5 in upper pri, $6 is secondary

Have about $1-$2 in primary school - which is sufficient just for meals. I think it was around $6 maximum in secondary school - which was again just sufficient for meals.

I love to spend it on snacks and sweets. The guilty pleasure when I was a kid. Growing up, I realised that I can save quite a bit if I did not spend on these and went on to minimize such spendings!

Hi Anon! Your question brings back a lot of memories for me haha. I can't remember exactly how much pocket money I received but it is around the same as what you received.

I was quite a playful kid back then so I would save up money and spend it on items such as wooden rulers for "sword fighting", inflatable paper ball (I bought quite a few of this because it always gets torn), personalised name stickers and stamp and a wallet spring keychain (a primary school kid essential).​​​

I got 50 cents or $1 per day during primary school, depending on whether I had CCA after school or not. A small plate of bee hoon/mee would be 30 cents. I'd add 1 slice of fish cake for 10 cents, then either save the remaining 10 cents and accumulate to buy something better (such as fried hotdog, ice cream, a cup of drink) the next time, or spend it on a country eraser :)
