I think that kids appreciate more what they have when they have to work for them and dont' have everything they want asap, it teaches them about working vs. instant gratification, about earning for wants (I like that they taught my s10 wants vs needs)
Even I was loaded I'd time how often I'd buy kids things, my s10 is also asking for games and I also told him he can do extra chores and he was excited about it.
