Making Money vs. Saving Money

My previous post have been about how to make money as a minor, but that's only half the game. You have to know how to keep it, too. That's why you don't want to be an idiot with your money. Especially at our age, we're always out to impress people. Well, impressing people by buying a bunch of junk is not impressive it's stupid.

I was brought up to be smart with my money. Save it. Invest it. Buy only what I totally must have. I'll admit sometimes that means a thing of slime at the school store.

I had a recent experience where someone tried to impress me with their money. Actually, their parents money. Which is really hilarious. But whatever.

In situations like that I just say, cool.

What I mean to say - but right now I'm trying to limit my enemies - is that I don't really care.

My family lives a lifestyle where we don't consume more than we need.

And that in a nutshell is how you have money. No matter how much you make, if you blow it all away like a jerk, you'll have nothing.

Having money wins!
