Did any of you have pocket money when you were a kid?

I was thinking back to when I was a kid growing up in the 80s and 90s I used to get pockets money from my parents.

I saved it up to eventually buy a game or a computer magazine.

I haven't heard pocket money being mentioned for decades. Do people still get pocket money or do parents just buy items the kid wants?

I think the pocket money system taught me the value of money and to be financially disciplined to save up for things I couldn't afford immediately.
