Practical, honest guides for parents on the everyday questions: how much pocket money, whether to link it to chores, and how to raise children who think clearly about money without the anxiety.
Morechard covers three areas that often get treated separately but belong together: pocket money and allowances, chores and responsibility, and what happens to both when children split time between two homes. Whether you are working out a pocket money amount for the first time, navigating co-parenting arrangements, or helping a child understand why saving matters - these guides are written for real families, not financial textbooks.
The articles here are grounded in UK research and written from direct experience building a family money tracker: less theory, more of what actually works at the kitchen table.
