From Allowance to Steady Income
Steady income arrives on a schedule, so you can plan with it.
The idea
Income is money that comes in to you, like allowance, gift money, or pay for doing jobs. Steady income means it arrives on a regular schedule, such as every Saturday, so you can actually plan around it. You can make income steadier by agreeing with a grown-up on exactly which jobs you do, how often you do them, and what each one pays. When you know roughly what is coming in, deciding what to save and what to spend gets a lot easier. 💪
