<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chip, post: 1181916, member: 19122&quot;]I also never recieved an allowance from my folks, but I had lots of things I wanted that my parents were not about to spring for. So I worked when I could, now my parents expected me to do some things free, but some things I could get paid for. </p><p><br /></p><p>I had to mow our lawn, but after I finished I could use the lawnmower and mow other peoples lawns for money. I had to do an old neighbor lady, who only paid me a dime, my mom made me do hers, but I would go out pushing the mower and if I found a house that looked like its lawn needed mowing I would knock on the door and ask if they wanted the lawn mowed and negotiate a price. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is important to ask first and also to agree on a price, when I first wanted to make money my mom just told me to take the mower and mow someones lawn that needed it and then knock on the door and say, Hi Mister, I mowed your lawn how much will you give me. So I went to one house on the corner with a big yard, it took me over an hour to do it, when I finished I knocked on the door and said Hey Mister, I mowed your lawn how much will you give me. The guy said, I did not ask you to mow my lawn, I am not giving you anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>Believe you me, if you show adults you are willing to work, you will always have money to buy things that you like.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
