"Let's say an immediate $10.00 allowance increase plus an annual 8% cost of living raise and I'll call him off."

...Shares can go up as well as down.

"I got my first paycheck, and now I understand why our organization is classified as a nonprofit."

"The mirrors really do make this apartment look bigger."

'My pay envelope is empty.' - 'Your deductions equal your salary'

"I think you should provide a 401(k) with my allowance."

'The increased child tax credit is supposed to stimulate the economy...so how about a raise in my allowance?'

'My own debit card would really be a great way to teach me the value of a dollar.'

'You mean if I want extra money I have to go to work? That's your job, dad.'

'I can't find my key.'
