We were rather sheltered when we were kids. I was a bit sickly when I was younger, and just stayed home most of the time. I think my first taste of earning money was with our test results. Depending on on how we do in a finals exam, we get some money. For every 1 mistake, 2 pesos was deducted from the total of 50 pesos [1 USD]. I wasn't the brightest kid, so I got a few change, but my sisters were raking in the money. I think it was effective for them, since they improved their grades a lot. I was still lazy, and was content with what I got.

Hmm, if I relied on my exam results to earn a few bucks I'd have been waiting a long time...unless there was rewards for barely passing. 😉
Sisters raking in the money huh? Well, I hope you worked out some clever scheme to lighten their load a little, Blackjack, poker or some such thing.
I was too innocent of a lad back then, so those never crossed my mind. They were older and nicer than me, so they bought me candies lots of times.
The operative words being, back then. Now a different story I'm sure. :)
Candies hey? Candy solves a multitude of problems I'd say.
