He did say that he's going to get a job in summer when he turned 15. :p Heheh...yeah...I still remember getting allowance when I was still a kid...just seems like yesterday.
I remember that I was so LAZY in studies that my mum had to tempt me with $20 for every exam I get A in. Hehehe...
For the university entrance exam, $500 was the reward for every A. Too bad, I got lazy and could only get an A. One of my rich classmates, her mum tempted her with $5000 for every A. Too bad, she didn't get any As. :p
Actually, I earned extra allowance by tutoring kids when I was 16. Hehe...every end of the month, I felt so rich with the $200 I made.... those were the good old days.
Damn you where one lucky SOB :p, I know I never got even close to what you got when I was a kid. I think I probably only ended up with about $40 (don't quote me on that) when I was younger after allowance and downing odd jobs for other people and such X-P. I ended up getting a Part Time job (with full time hours) when I was 16 so I could actually have some money.
