What do Japanese kids spend their allowance on? Survey finds out soranews24.com

But looking at a new survey of kids in elementary and junior high school, I learned that maybe we really aren’t all that different after all.
Their goal was to see how much kids are getting for an allowance these days and – more importantly for Bandai – what they’re spending that money on.
According to the survey of 900 kids, roughly half received allowances on a regular basis such as weekly or monthly.
So, what are these kids choosing to spend this limited amount of money on?
Heck, even after all these years I still spend the lion’s share of my pocket money on junk food from the corner store.
