Thirteen-year-olds not spend as much money as their parents suspect - at least not according to the findings of a recent survey, Money and Charge.
 The survey included three hundred teenagers, 13-17 years old, from all over British.
By the time they reach their teens, most children see its weekly allowance rise dramatically to an amazing national average of ₤5.14.
 Two thirds think they get enough money, but most expect doing something to get it.
