allowances
Kids' spending funds
Allowances are permitted amounts or accommodations.
A daily allowance sets what you can spend or consume.
Parents give children allowances—regular sums of money.
To make allowances for something is to take it into account or excuse it: We made allowances for her inexperience.
In manufacturing, allowances are tolerances—acceptable deviations from specifications.
