I think the Pros of earning something yourself are you learn how to save cash, a new job skill, a sense of acomplishment, and people won't stereotype you with a stupid names like "spoiled brat, gold digger, pigeon, sponge, moocher, free loader, etc" since it won't be true since you can't mooch from yourself.

A possible con is less time for fun and socializing.

I honestly feel better when I earn it myself, but usually don't take care of it as well.
 
Depends what it is.

I'm perfectly fine with getting lavish gifts (I'm really spoiled >_< today I freaked out cause my parents gave me a 200 dollar shopping budget tomorrow *is mad*)

But yeah if I'm doing work or creating something I like when I do it myself. End of story. No edits. No censors. No comments. Just purely me.

Your mad about a 200$ budget!?! I get a 80$ budget when i go out with friends, if im lucky.

I like to earn something, just the way ive been my whole life
 
I only get a $20-30 budget when I go to the movies with friends. A lot of the times I have bring a few extra bills from my own wallet.

I usually have to save money a dollar at a time to afford games, and stuff.

But, whatever, it taught me the value of money and how nothing is free.
 
I went 54 dollars under budget XD yeyyyyyyyyy

But yeah I like shopping a lot and it's actually one of my few favorite activites that doesn't involve something I can do with my eyes closed >_<
