<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chip, post: 1394044, member: 19122&quot;]At age 16 your best investment might be a lawn mower and a can of gas, if you charge about 15 an hour for lawn mowing, you could make 60 bucks on any nice saturday. A lot of older people will encourage any young person who wants to make some money with honest work.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I was a kid, one of my chores was to mow our lawn and the lawn of the old retired lady next door, after doing that I would walk a few blocks and find some other lawns that looked like they needed mowing and would knock at the door and say, Good afternoon Maam, I will mow your lawn for 2 dollars, (this was 1962 and 2 dollars was fair) I ended up getting a bunch of customers that paid me every week.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just remember if you start getting customers they will want you to do it every week or two, so you have to keep them happy, and they will keep you happy.</p><p><br /></p><p>My parents never gave us an allowance, we were expected to help around the house, but there were lots of older people without children who would prefer to pay a boy to mow their lawn than to do it themselves.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bet today you could easily make 100 a week doing that, save that money for a few months and you will soon be able to afford coins that you would never be able to afford on an allowance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
