Is raising parent approval worth it?

[Von-Wulfen 0]

I choose family Wizards as my background family choice. It did not come with any allowance or pocket money.

Is it worth raising parent approval rating through correspondence to gain some sort of income? 

If so, what does the rating need to be at?

Actively spending time to raise PA through Correspond isn't worth it, since you only get allowance every other week.

I never correspond (I'm dreading returning home for the summer ), money is not important early on.

While not common, random events do sometimes give out items that can be sold at shops.

Parental approval in turn is only beneficial for a certain emotion (>110), although this will change with the Y2 release.

it lost its importance after the change that you get 5 parent approval each time you reach study level 10.
