As a not-parent how do kids' economy look like in 2019? Do they get their allowance in cash? Do they have debit card? Credit card?

I teach teenagers, and a lot of them have their own debit card... Even if they don't have a job. I'm not sure if it's their own account the parents deposit into, or if they're on their parents account, but quite a few do have one.
