You are commended for your 鈥済o get 鈥榚m鈥?spirit. Ask your Mom about getting 鈥渨orking papers鈥? Most young people need these to get any kind of job working for someone in a shop, mall or store. OR This is THE SAME general list I give to members of my family, children of my friends and I send to just about every young person wanting/needing some extra money. If you are doing any of these, you鈥檙e that much ahead of the game, aren鈥檛 you? NO ONE is going to walk up to yo and ask you. YOU MUST get out there and ask others. Most of them will tell you, No". Don't get mad or give-up. Just keep on asking. Keep on going. ALWAYS LET AN ADULT YOU KNOW, KNOW WHERE YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU ARE DOING! 1] Doing errands for those folks who aren鈥檛 able to quite do things for themselves. Going to the store, getting something from a neighbor, etc. 2] Doing chores for your neighbors. Sweeping floors, doing light cleaning, dusting, etc. 3] Cutting grass. 4] Raking leaves. 5] Shoveling snow and ice from sidewalks, steps, driveways, carports, etc. 6] Cleaning up yards. 7] WITHOUT expecting any money or 鈥減ay鈥?from parent[s], relative[s] or guardian[s], doing chores around home or their business. Honestly, YOU DO NOT ASK, 鈥淗ow much are you going to pay me?鈥?OR YOU DO NOT ASK, 鈥淗ow much am I getting paid?鈥?OR YOU DO NOT ASK, 鈥淗ow much?鈥? Why? Simply because you live there and that wonderful person is giving you a home, clothes to wear, food to eat, giving you the opportunity to use a computer to ask your question and other things, isn鈥檛 she? Why? Simply because you live there and that wonderful person is giving you a home, clothes to wear, food to eat, giving you the opportunity to use a computer and ask your question and other things, isn鈥檛 he? Why? Simply because you live there and those wonderful people are giving you a home, clothes to wear, food to eat, giving you the opportunity to use a computer and ask your question and other things, aren鈥檛 he? 8] Collecting old newspapers and recycling them. Before doing this, you better check with an adult about this. 9] If your area wants a deposit for glass bottles, plastic bottles and/or aluminum cans, collecting these and taking them back for the deposit. Before doing this, you better check with an adult about this. 10] Have a garage sale or a yard sale of the things you don鈥檛 need, want or use anymore. Ask an adult about this. 11] Look into getting a paper route. YES, you get paid money, BUT you do not get to keep and spend all the money you collect. You MUST pay for those newspapers you deliver. You MUST ask you paren[s] OR guardian[s] about this. It doesn鈥檛 make any difference whether you work for yourself or work for someone else. You MUST pay yourself first. What do I mean? Each and every dime - ten cents - you earn, this is what you should do AND in this order: 1] Give 10% or 1 penny to your favorite charity. Give it to your church, temple or mosque. If you don鈥檛 have a favorite charity, talk with your parent[s], relative[s] or guardian[s] about charity. This is extremely important. When you give to and for others, you get back - many times what you give. It doesn鈥檛 happen 鈥渙vernight鈥?or right away, BUT IT HAPPENS. DO IT! 2] Put 10% or one penny into a savings account for yourself. Please don鈥檛 touch this money. Let money 鈥済row鈥?by earning interest and providing you with more money. 3] Spend 10% or one penny on yourself. Why? Because you worked for it, You earned it. You deserve it. This could go toward whatever you mentioned in your question. 4] 35% or three and one-half pennies should be put aside to pay your taxes. If you aren鈥檛 paying them now, you鈥檒l be paying them soon enough. 5] 25% or two and one-half pennies you should use A] for your gas, oil and upkeep for your lawnmower [sharpening the blades, buying the tools you鈥檒l need, etc.]; B] snacks, something to drink or to have while you鈥檙e babysitting. C] Getting the other important items you will find you MUST have and cannot do without - or you might get into deep trouble if you don鈥檛 have them. [Ask some adults. They should be able to tell you.] 6] 10% or one penny for a 鈥渞ainy day鈥? JUST in case an emergency comes up and you HAVE TO HAVE some extra money to get somewhere or do something or buy something you forgot to buy. Do these things each and every time someone gives you money. No matter how much or how little it is, do it. This is all part of budgeting and managing your money. When you take proper care of and properly manage your money, your money should take care of you. It doesn鈥檛 sound like much, does it? BUT when you take that dime and multiply it by ten, this equals $1.00. The percents stay the same. The amounts go up. I鈥檒l do the same things I just did with a dime - only I鈥檒l do it using $10. This time I won鈥檛 use the explanations. [please stay with me]: 1] Give 10% or $1 to your favorite charity. DO IT! 2] Put 10% or $1 into a savings account for yourself. Please don鈥檛 touch this money. 3] Spend 10% or $1 on yourself. 4] 35% or $3.50 put aside to pay your income taxes. 5] 25% or $2.50 for the same exact items I described above. 6] 10% or $1 for a 鈥渞ainy day鈥? I鈥檒l do this again. Now, I鈥檒l use $100. Same percent. Nothing changed except the amount. 1] Give 10% or $10 to your favorite charity. DO IT! 2] Put 10% or $10 into a savings account for yourself. Please don鈥檛 touch this money. 3] Spend 10% or $10 on yourself. 4] 35% or $35.00 put aside to pay your income taxes. 5] 25% or $25.00 for the same exact items I described above. 6] 10% or $10 for a 鈥渞ainy day鈥? Suggestion: I want everyone to know I DO NOT own any portion of this man鈥檚 estate, nor am I associated with him or any one else connected with him in any way. I am not part of the publishing company or an agent or anything else. This man does not know me from Adam AND I don鈥檛 know him. I know of him and the wonderful book he wrote. THIS IS NOT SPAM. You and your friend should each buy a copy of this book: 鈥淭he Richest Man in Babylon鈥?by George S. Classon Its very easy to read. Its very easy to follow. You can write in it. You can make notes in it. All you have to do is to read five [5] pages - Let鈥檚 count 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 pages of this book - or any book - each and every day. OR You can leave it sit on the shelf, on a table or on the floor and let it collect dust. Suggestion: Journal every day on your computer. What you learned and what you were taught. What to do and what not to do. Here are the two old sayings: A] "The only stupid question is the question you don't ask." B] "So, you thought --- and think --- education is expensive? Just wait until you try ignorance." Ask your parents or teachers about these. TRUE STORY: When I was about 8, 9 or 10, I wished for something or I wished I could do something or I wished one of my terrific aunts would come home so we could do something. I said my "wish" loud enough for my wonderful Grandmom to hear. She stopped what she was doing (making bread, I think), took-off her apron and washed her hands. In a very sweet, matronly way, she took me by the hand and led me to the living room. Grandmom sat in Grandpop鈥檚 chair and pulled me very close. As though she was telling me a secret, she said softly, 鈥淚鈥檓 going to tell you two things I think are important enough for you to know. Number 1, I love you. No matter what you say or what you do, I鈥榣l always love you.鈥?br /> I was playing with my hands, looking down at them. I glanced up and looked at her smiling face. I said, 鈥淚 love you too, Grandmom.鈥?She said, 鈥淵es, I know that. And number 2: Wish in one hand and pee in the other - then see which one gets filled first!鈥?br /> We hugged. She hugged me a lot harder than I hugged her. She went to the kitchen. I continued whatever I wasn鈥檛 doing. I invested my time in you and in your dreams. I gave you some suggestions and a light down a path. As you can see, you have other choices, don鈥檛 you? The rest is up to you. AND IF you doubt one word of this answer, please print a copy of it and show it to your parents, teachers or anyone else you might think may be on your side. Those folks might just agree with me or perhaps you. I have much, much more. This is enough for right now. Thank you for asking your question. I enjoyed taking the time to answer it. You did a great job - not only for your information, but for every other person interested in reading my answer. Thanks to everyone for reading my answer. I wish you well! VTY, Ron Berue Yes, that is my real last name. Source(s): My wonderful family. My wonderful teachers, professors and mentors. 鈥淭HE University of Hard Knocks鈥? Thank you very, very much. I鈥檓 honored my answer was THE BEST! When I received the notice, it REALLY helped to make my day! Again, Thank You Very Much! Very Truly Yours, Ron Berue Most states you have to be 16. I think 15 is allowed sometimes but you have very restricted hours. You have to be 15 to get a legal job with a worker's permit. But if you just wanna earn a little money on the side try mowing lawns or dog walking, or extra chores with your mom. You're too young to be worried about money. Enjoy what's left of your childhood, it goes fast! Good luck Most states its age 16. |
