They are the same allowance when Tyler is on his 3rd month and Jeremiah is on his 2nd month. This is because 63-42=21 so every month Jeremiah is gaining $21 more every month so after the second month he gains exactly his monthly allowance more allowing for them to have the same amount of money when Tyler is on his 3rd month and Jeremiah is on his 2nd month.
