TopicWhat's a reasonable allowance for a 7 year old?

I've been giving my kids their age in allowance, so the $7 year old gets $7 a week.

I also haven't been directly tying their allowance to chores. They have chores they need to do, and lose video games or something if they don't get them done, but I don't want them to expect money just for doing stuff around the house that they should be doing anyways.

There is the observable part of the universe that we can study and what lies beyond that has yet to reach us (if it ever will).

Assuming the universe is and continues to expand at an expanding rate, distant galaxies will continue to move further away from us faster than the speed of light, and thus the observable universe will have less and less in it, not more.
