So glad you are taking a proactive approach to understanding your needs and wants. I wish my parents had done this for me and my sisters when I was your age and younger! I’ve learned the hard way and sadly watching one sister (who is of course the youngest) think that her “needs” include spending all the money she earned teaching on a new computer and shiny accessories and didnt think to save ANY of it So now she does rely on a parent to supply both her needs, like things for school and groceries with her wants – books, clothes, dates, fun with her friends. And she’s 20 years old. Here’s to you being far more grownup than the average 20 year old college student

Hey J2! Don’t listen to J at Budgets are Sexy! Dad might have a heart attack if you start talking J’s latest goals with the wife!

Good luck in your money adventure. Most of all STUDY your heart out in High School because your grades start accumulating in the 9th grade.

9th grade is really the start of your entire life. You can actually goof around until then, but once 9th grade hits, focus on getting the best grades you can, and be well rounded. Get some leadership rolls in sports or the arts because education and getting into a good school makes a big big difference if you don’t have super high connections.

Who cares what the “cool kids” are doing. A lot of the cool kids from my HS are duds now.

Best,

Nice job J2!

Wow! Tiffany jewelry at age 11? Man, I hope my 2 year old daughter never grows up!! =)

Keep up the writing!

Joe, do you have a matching program where I get a dollar for the comment too? =)

Ha great idea Joe, and awesome post Jane2.0. You are quite the academic, everything spelt and punctuated properly. That’s more than some adults can pull off, even in the writing field. I read a book recently that got past the author and all the editors with quite a few grammatical errors!

Anyway, you’re on the right track. The plan should be to continue to make money and be able to pay for the wants but forgo those that are frivolous and don’t add value to your life so you can save for the future.

J2, congrats on your first blogging gig. Great job. Keep it up, and before you even start college you could have your own blogging business!

Good luck saving up for that Tiffany jewelry. Let’s get a few more comments on here to help you get there!

J2, you’re an excellent writer and I hope you keep up with it! You’ve got a good head on your shoulders and it will serve you well in your life.

When I was your age, I wrote a newspaper and sold it in my town to make some money (I didn’t have an allowance). If you’re interested and your dad thinks it’s a good idea, I wrote a guide on how I did it: http://www.ehow.com/how_4751354_write-newspaper-kids-kids.html

Your dad knows where to find me if you have any questions! I think you would write an excellent newspaper

Just weighing in to make your Dad pony up another dollar.

P.S. I have an eleven year old, too. Maybe I should get him to write something.
