It is called learning how to maintain money. People who are 14 should be getting around $400 dollars versus the parents pay day. This way they can learn how to spend money and be responsible.

Said no parent, ever. The only way a 14 yr old needs that much money is if they are paying room and board, which they aren't.

Now that's a chore I'd like.
I've been reading all the posts-not commenting as I've really nothing to contribute. Just sitting here learning,
My oldest is 5. He picks up the toys (and leads his baby brother to do the same), takes out the trash (with my help), and gets the cash from bottle depot returns. He's very proud to help
All three of my daughters started doing their own laundry when they were 11 years old. After a period of initiation I turned it over to them and they had to do it for themselves 100% of the time.
They will have to do chores when they go out into the world on their own.....starting them right with chores at home is just one more way of making sure they are ready for adulthood.
Commenting on my own post....the thing made me give them responsibility for their laundry was this: the oldest was pulling off her jeans and shirts in such a way that almost every garment in the laundry was inside out. After turning jeans right side out for a while, I started leaving everything inside-out and folding them that way. LOL. I thought she would get the message. But that didn't work either, so I gave her responsibility for her laundry 100%. As someone commented earlier, yes there was a learning curve, and more than once I found the washer so stuffed that the agitator almost couldn't move. But to she learned, and it became a family tradition. Took a load off of me, no pun intended!
