"I think that if you have a lot of money, then don't spend it all at one time. Hide it in a place were only you know where it is. But have your family know where it is but make them promise not to take any of it. Count it every day to make sure nobody stole it, and most importantly, if one of your family members are there and someone breaks into the house, they could be able to take the money and run. But if you're not careful with your money then it can get stolen really, really fast."

Well...1st of all I want ya'll to know this is not my decision. Also, I do not work for my allowance. I have to put $3 of my $4 per week allowance in the bank account. Also, if I want anything of these: cool clothes, buying lunch sometimes, and stuff for my room & locker. I have to buy it myself, because my mom says, Clothes that are too small will fit in a pinch. I say, Clothes that are too small go to charity! she says, "Clothes that are 'nerdy' are perfectly fine to wear. If you had good friends, they won't laugh at you. I say, I only got like 50/1, 000 friends. she says, A brought lunch is just as good as a bought lunch. I say French fries taste better than plain yogurt with wheat germ" she says A brought lunch is less expensive. ( what is with parents and saving money?! ) I say, I did the calculations. Buying is less than bringing from home. she says, A locker doesn't tell your personality. I say, " by decorating my locker, I can express my personality. she says, A room is a room is a room. I say, A room is a stylish room is a cool room. DOESN't THAT STINK!?!?!?!?!?! : ( from Grace.

Usually, you have to show the parents that you can handle their children, like changing the toddlers diapers, making sure they stay in the house, cleaning the dogs poop, and regular stuff like that! Children are hard, so start out by doing it for free, and babysitting your younger siblings, and work your way up from there! Take it from someone who has experience! Sincerely, Kenya.

I like to buy books, clothes (unless there is something that I NEED that I've grown out of, then my parents pay for it), and things like key chains and stuff. I am very cagey about money, though, so I don't buy things that often, because sometimes I need to buy things like dance shoes ($50 =: -o).

Im afraid to say it but I actually spend my money on candy. In a week I probably spend about 2-5 dollars worth of candy. In order to pay for all of my money I work it off.

I really cannot manage the money I save! It is so hard, because now that I am almost a teen, I have to pay for most of the things I get at the mall, since it shows that I am getting older, and it stinks!! ! The clothes at charloette russe and forever 21 are really expensive to buy- some of the tops cost more than 15 or 16 dollars each. I get tempted to buy them, and I sometimes just splurge and waste ALL my money. Maybe I am just a shop-a-holic.

If you think about it, buying things to eat is pointless. Yes its nice, however it wont last. I choose to spend my money on other stuff. Take the shoot out cards. I bought them and sold them at a profit. Got me about a 10 ($20) (tip, don't buy your items off ebay to sell, it doesn't work. Although, buy off ebay for your items. Im soon going to be buying a massage chair for 200 ($400) by working round the house and helping my brother with his paper route. Basically buy things that are going to last and look around as much as possible to get them cheap. Put your money to the best possible use.

Hehe, YES! I am WAAAY happy because my mum just told me she found me a kid I could babysit! My mum is AWESOME!

The kid is perfect, she's only a few years younger than me, but her mom thinks she needs a babysitter, and is willing to get an 11 year old one.

I always spend money on things that seem cool, but I regret buying later. But maybe sometimes it's worth it. I have just started saving up money for something really big. Im thinking about using that money for getting everyone in my family a very, very, good present for Christmas. So far I have $6 saved. Hey I said I JUST started saving. I think it's pretty good so far. Since I don't have any particular presents to get them, I'll just get them something that isn't more than the money I have. I think that is pretty reasonable!

Hey, ShiShi: On the Babysitting page, you were just a tad bit annoyed at me for saying 10 year olds couldn't baby sit. First of all, I'd like to say that I admire your courage in your convictions. Im sorry if I insulted you, and Im sure you make a fine, responsible sitter. But you see, when I was your age, I was still being sat, and I suppose I just assumed that most 10 year olds would be a bit too young, and inexperienced to babysit. I also know that if anything bad had happened if I'd been watching a kid, I'd have completely freaked out. I think a lot of 10 year olds might react that way, but you're right, I shouldn't have made such a generalization. Im sure that like yourself, there are many highly capable 10 year olds, so sorry to have offended you.
--JS, 13
Well, when I get money it tells me Spend Me! Spend Me!". It's annoying. But I just save up until there is something I really want. Like now, Im saving up for a CD called GirlNext". Now Now, don't feel bad if you have trouble saving money. Here are good steps so you don't even get Tempted" to spend it: 1. When you get money, give it to a parent/guardian to put in their purse or wallet. (you would not get tempted probably) . 3. Maybe ask if your parent or guardian can hide it in their drawer or something like that. 4. Only buy things necessary. These steps will help you decrease your thoughts of money so youre not tempted to spend it.

First of all, I make $10-15 a week for my chores, including walking the dog, cleaning my room, doing dishes and stuff like that. After I get paid, I deposit $3 into my bank account for big things that Im saving up for, for instance a new bike, or a pair of designer jeans. I put $3 into a special account that I put towards my college funds, my car when Im older, my house when Im older, and stuff like that. And I keep the other $4 in my wallet to spend at the store on whatever I please.

Im not the spending type of girl. I sometimes like shopping for clothes at Hollister and Abercrombie and Fitch but that is the only shopping I do (Trust me I barely go to these stores maybe once every 3 months). People usually expect 13 year olds to shop a lot. Im saving my money because I want to go to Yale or Harvard (sorry. I have big expectations of myself sometimes!). I do donate a lot though.

You could make money, by making things for pets, but don't make dog leashes or collars, because if the person that you sell it to has a big dog, the leash or collar may not be strong enough, and the dog could get loose and you could be in big trouble. Sorry that Im not sticking to the topic, but there is no room in making money.

--Ashley, 13
I spend my money on what I really want or need. Like for example, if I want a really cute top I would save up my allowance, then go to the store and buy it. But if I don't have enough my mom will pitch in a little money. But if she has to pitch in a whole lot we'll go home and I'll save up some more, and then go back. Usually I have enough though. I also love to save up money, then count it. And while Im out, I look at the prices of what interests me the most.

--Steve, 12
I don't like to spend my money because I know that someday I will really wish I had a lot of money, and I wont have it if I spend it. If I did want something I would continue doing what I do now. I always put money on a Christmas or birthday list. I also get an allowance of whatever age I am every month until Im 13. Then I get 20 dollars a month. So now I get 10 bucks a month. On top of all I that I ask my parents for any change they don't want. That can make me a lot of money. And oh yeah- my dad puts money in my bank account a lot, so now I have over 650 dollars!!!! I hope you try my tips.

"I make money by saving it. I receive an allowance from my parents every week. But you can't always depend on your parents for money. S, with my allowance($10), I take and buy A LOT of candy to sell. The key to making a profit is selling things at a reasonable price. For instance, if I buy a $2 6 pk of say, 20oz. juices and sell each one for at least 75cent each I make more money than I spend. The first time you try this out, you might want to save the money you make and split half of it up to buy more candy. Trust me, this business works. I made over $100 in about 1 month."

The way I make sure I have enough cash is I only buy a couple items and save all my other money. My mom buys all my clothes. That is because if she didn't, I would have no clothes. I don't care what I wear, as long as it fits. I'd never ever, ever waste money on clothes. Ever! "

"I save my money like you wouldn't believe. I have to do chores around the house, like the dishes and stuff. BUT I also have to do all of my own laundry. I don't get paid for doing chores either. If I want something, I have to by it for myself. I bought myself one thing in the past two years: a pair of sweet lookin' NIKE SHOX. They were $119.00. I also babysat through the whole summer, about 3/4 days a week. All in all, I earned about $1000 over the summer. I live out in the boondocks and don't have anything I can really do to make money. My mom owns two of her own businesses and I HAVE TO WORK THERE all through the summer, unless I find a job for that summer. On my days off, I have to work up there too. I DON'T GET PAID TO WORK THERE EITHER. IT IS LIKE A CHORE. It stinks! Well, I am totally against snobby brats that get whatever they want, whenever they want. Especially if their parents just give them money for whatever. I believe in working hard and earning what you DESERVE. Well, That is my theory. Good luck saving your money; for me it is easy. Although, if I want to go to college or buy a car, I am going to need that money! See y'all 'round."

I like to spend money on the finer things in life like shopping for clothes, going to the movies, and other important things like finding an acne cream that actually works. Saving up money is really hard for me. I've been really trying and only have managed to save up six dollars and some change. It's hard. I don't get allowance because my mom is a single parent who struggles with money. I just wish there was a way I could make easy money and not have to leave school. But who's going to hire a 13 year old?! Only a talent scout would look for someone this young or younger, I think. But anyway, I'm young, I'm broke, and I wish I could make and save money. Which is hard to do especially because I don't have any. But I'm sure I'm not the only one who struggles at this age. But thanks for listening:-) Bye!"

I don't make sure I have enough cash for all of the things I want, I blow it too quickly and I realize that when I can't buy something (thats my punishment).

If you have money and want to spend it, only spend it on things you REALLY NEED! 3.

You can also put your money in a savings account so you can't get it without your parents knowing."
