This may be needed for my parents xD

thanks Dev!

You're gonna be needing this Romo??

Not really. I manage my money with care. Most teenagers spend their money as soon as they get it, but I actually save up and before buying anything I ask myself, "Do I really need this? How long will it serve me?"

I currently have more than $3,000 saved up for my future needs and a few $100 for pocket money. I bought a $1,150 gamer laptop, a few video games, a printer, an external hard drive, an iPod Touch (when they came out), sold all my other video game consoles that I wasted a lot of money on, and am happy. Thank God for all that!

How do I have so much, considering my age? I work. Like an animal. Mostly plumbing, which requires lots of digging and lifting. I don't get an "allowance" (stupid concept, spoils kids) and I don't ask mommy and daddy to buy me things.

Lol Mommy and Daddy xD

I don't ask them to buy things under around 100$, but I do ask over 100$.

My parents are strict on me, so I am very limited. I cannot buy myself an iPod Touch without permission, or anything else you listed there without any permission sadly...

I work for my dad on some of the weekdays, that's the way I make money. I have about 2,654$
saved in my account right now

See i like this because you can be in a perfect finanical situation and still use it, like i said budgets so you dont aquire debt, set goals so you know where your saved money is going and all of that, my savings and checkings account in total has over 900 in it, its not much, but its more than ive ever had, and considering i havent had them for that long lol. So for you Romo, you're what 16? you could start saving for retirement, the earlier you start the more you'll have

whoa whoa!!! I'm just started worrying about my car, then college, not retirement already. lol

haha, it was an example romo lol..but yeah, you can create a savings plan for those, and what i like about it is, that it gives you recommendations on how much should go into whatever your account you use for your goal monthly
