its good you actually have the motivation to start working at a young age. if that's something instilled on you when you're young you'll end up in a better place than any of the lazy asses who don't start working until their parents kick them out.

Farm work isn't easy, but it beats working at micky d's or something. at least you're outside. fair warning: it SUCKS in the winter.

The bike ride will be good excersize.

Definately save up now, and you will be thankful for it later. I wish I had saved since I started working... i wouldnt be scrounging up gas money :(

I know how it is in the winter, I used to go their everyday between 6-8 grade In the winter its not fun, but Its not bad.

Im saving up some money but I really want this 68 firebird.

Congrats on the job Matt. Like the others said, save the money. Who knows, if you end up in college, that money may be more useful to you than some modded 84 Firebird. :wink:

no more firebird modding for me, Im sick of that car and hasnt even gotten me faster then a ricer. Im sad to say it but I think Im gonna work for a full year or till I Pay my mom off completely then quit. Its not that I dont like working but the fact that I bust my ass working in the sun and then when I want something even though I have the money I still cant have it.

I worked 6 hours today and I can work 40 hours a week, but Im just gonna work till wednsday and then thursday and friday make some money on a side job watchin my cousins.

Don't quit, unless you find a better job.

I had a paper route from the time I was 11 until shortly after I turned 18, and I can't tell you how much I wish my mom forced me to save my money those first several years that I was working. I spent 7 years getting up by 6am everyday, and don't have much of anything to show for it because I blew all that money away on trivial crap.

Be glad that your mother cares enough about your future to keep your money in savings for you. Better yet, ask her to open an ING savings account in her name for all of your money (it earns 4.35% interest). Shoot me a PM if you want any more details about it.

I know about the ING thing We talked about it in math class when we were going over intrest. I think I lied about firebird modding ;) but id rather have firebird running. I can only work 3 1/2 hours till I get paid. damn child labor laws. I met a cool guy know as the barn man and hes teaching me all this **** about barn straightining.
