Rant: My neighbor said he's 'training his kids for the gig economy' by not giving them an allowance, just paying them for chores via an app.

Seriously? It's just chores.

My dad just gave me a weekly allowance, no strings attached. But after reading @ray617's comment, I looked it up. Some experts say tying money directly to tasks teaches real world cause and effect, like getting paid for a completed job. It's less about the money and more about linking work to reward. That actually makes a lot of sense to me now.
