Up until when I was about fifteen I would get no pocket money. When I was about six, seven and eight I got two dollars a week if I did all these jobs. I saw all these kids getting like ten dollars a week and complaining about things and was kinda sad for them. But yeah, at fifteen all of the sudden I started getting $20 a week (AUD works out to be roughly equal to or just a little less in USD) so I knew "how to work with money", which comes in really handy. But yeah, I'm glad I got nothing for a long time, it taught me to be grateful for what I got. I also work, well, I stopped at the end of the summer holidays a month and a bit ago, but yeah I was getting $10 an hour for that and I was working on average about eleven hours a week, so I made a good $1100 over the holidays. Luckily I don't have any bills to pay because I'm still in school, but unluckily the guitar amp had to get fixed, I had to pay back my parents some money, pay for my school books, paid for rehearsal rates at studios, movie tickets and I bought a second hand drum kit so I'm sitting on about $600 right now. But that was all in like a month and a bit. And I've never spent that much in my life. Hopefully none of my music gear breaks or anything. Because I want to save up to do something at the end of this year when school finishes with friends.
