We have a chore board. When the kids were young, they had lists of things that had to be done at certain times each day. Those received check marks that added up each day.
Looking back on my life growing up, I think that my primary chore a kid was basically to graduate valedictorian and get a full college scholarship.
I had to mow the grass and I had a paper route, both of which generated cash (allowance and employment income).
I destroyed the mower once in high school because nobody explained to me that you had to check the oil.
Other than that, I was pretty much task-free.
