I'm kind of in the same place. Q has chores that he has to do, it's part of being a family. He didn't really care for that explaination, but when I pointed out all the things I do without getting paid, he was ok with it.

He walks the dog. Feeds the dog. He helps to bring his laundry to the basement.

But he has no understanding of money and value. He just wants everything - of course. So I'd like to give him an allowance of some sort, but he needs to earn it, like I earn my paycheck. I don't know what to do to make him earn it.

Homework, behaviour and helping out at home are not jobs, they are expected and should be done. Disciplined if not done - not rewarded for doing what should be done.
