Anyone work?
How do you pay for what you need/want/obsess over and waste your youth with?
How do you spend it?

etc.



How should i spend it?

I'm saving up for 80$ guitar+basic setup, protein powder and dietary supplements (for football), and possibly a bike.

Something really big I'm thinking of is, like, a car.


I work at my dad's office this summer and I make 10-20 dollars a day, so I have about 60 dollars saved up


I spent about 50 on PSN cards (total waste, should've kept the money) and 10 for my sister's library fines (note to self: WILL GET BACK!)

I fix computers for people. $6 a week goes to the local newspaper for my computer repair ad. My mom has for some odd reason, decided to pay for a car for me, including insurance, so I spend $25 every month on half a tank of gas. That leaves me with $25-$30 dollars Leftover each month, which I spend on pop.

I just recently got on a disability pension, although I imagine it differs largely country to country. Far more money than I'm used to having, considering I've never had a job before.

My mum and I had to sign stuff to give her the rights to mine until I'm eighteen. She buys everything I NEED ( clothes, school stuff, food etc) but I have to use birthday money and the pocket money my mum sort of treats me to when I want to buy something. In a lot of ways she has the right idea because A) I rarely spend money and B) I would end up buying stuff that I'm gonna love when I'm into something and mourn when I'm not.

I don't work for money, I volunteer at community events that need the help. I get all my money from my allowance (which is quite high, so I'm not complaining).

Oh, and I spend it on food, movies and video games. Sometimes art supplies. (Which reminds me, I'm out of my good paper.)

I work at Subway Sandwiches, and have been for the past 2 years. Also, this September I hope to get into the Canadian Army Reserves. Most of my money goes into my car, like gas and repairs and crap. What little other money I have left over I spend on stuff like video game, restaurants, movies, etc.

Junk food is detrimental to a healthy life and is for children.

Disability Support Pension, FTW.

Various ways... $400 goes a long way.

I support myself. I go out a lot ($2.50 a day and I can go anywhere!).
