With 11 siblings and 7 children of her own, it's safe to say Vanessa has experimented with a range of possibilities when it comes to allowance. Whether it's getting paid for simple household chores, getting a job, or being paid for good grades, teaching kids the value of a dollar is hard!

Vanessa chats with her sister Erika about the different allowances (and reasons for them) they received as kids, and how they've used money to reward (and sometimes penalize) their children as they've grown up. From splitting the costs of non-essentials to emphasizing the importance of money-making skills, we'll cover what's worked, what hasn't, and all the reality checks along the way (you'll want to hear about the time Erika's son, Jett, hit the jackpot with his lemonade stand).
