i started mowing lawns at 8, making money at it by 10... 6 lawns for $30/week (friday and saturdays) by 11.
i was baby sitting @ 11.. making $4/hr (infrequent... but added to the bottom line)
i shoveled walkways and driveways in the winter from 11-17.. $5-10 per shovel ($20 for the really long ones).
i was making $3.50/hr working a farm when i was 12-13
$6/hr when i was 14-17 doing dishes @ restraunts, stocking shelves, etc
$7-8.50/hr running gas stations from 18-22
$7.90-15/hr writing software while in college

point being, $20 is nothing. hell... $75/month is nothing since you have no other expenses as a kid.

these days, you can get a job on saturday, make $6.50/hr minimum wage, and pull in over $50 (minus taxes) for a single days work. that's over $200/month just working a single 8 hr day per week.

basically, stfu.. stop whining... and solve the problem. go get a job.

is that a bit harsh? maybe. better to start thinking like this early then when you get out of high school @ 18 and start wondering how to make enough money to pay rent and feed yourself. which, btw, will run you anywhere from $500-2000/month for rent and $150-500/month for food... depending on where you live.

funny thing is, wow models this exactly... they just don't have a constant financial burden (ie: food and rent) that is always ticking. in wow, if you want the niffy thingie... you have to go out and work for it... and most people hate beggers
