ADVICE | TOUGH STUFF

Should I blow my savings?

 
I really want to buy my own computer. I have been saving my money for a few years now and have around $900. Now that I have enough for a computer, I’m starting to freak out. Should I really spend all that money at one time?

 

Good for you for saving so diligently, babe! When it comes to spending your hard-earned moolah, only you can decide what’s worth your entire savings…or even a small part of it. If you’re having second thoughts now that your goal is within reach, consider your quandary carefully. It might be helpful to go to a computer store just to see what your money could buy. If you want to spend all $900, you could probably get a pretty good comp. But for a fraction of that—say just a couple hundred bucks—you could purchase a portable netbook or tablet.

 

Also consider the other savings goals that are coming up. If you’re going to be driving soon, you might want to keep saving the money you make for a car. If there’s a pricey camp you want to enroll in during the summer, your money could go toward that. Or, you could keep it handy for college.

 

As I said before, only you can decide what to spend your money on and when to spend it. If it’s burning a hole in your pocket, consider purchasing something fabulous now and saving the rest for later. Or, divvy it up on small purchases—a little for an MP3 player, some more for a cute pair of boots. The choice is up to you!

Mod Mod I'm going to be turning 14 this year what kind of jobs am i able to get?

 

Hey love, once you get a job offer you have to get a Minor Work Permit. You can apply to pretty much anywhere that allows minors to work. You may want to see if you can work somewhere that you have interests in. For example, if you like sports, see if you can work at a camp or rec center. If you like fashion, try applying for a job in retail. Good luck!

I feel terrible. I don't have a best friend. I've never had a boyfriend. I don't have any friends to invite over & I haven't had a friend over since march. I have about 6 friends total, church & school. How can I stop being lonely? (without the extracurricular stuff)




Hey girl,

I totally understand where you're coming from! We all go through this from time to time, feeling like we're alone and feeling like there's just no way out of the rut we're in. But the fix is easier than you might think - you just need to challenge yourself to find something you love, to make life enjoyable again! A new hobby, club, sport, job, or volunteer situation will help you spend your time in a satisfying and healthy way, while also giving you a new place to be out-going and make friends. Even if it isn't your personality to be confident and out-going in social situations, challenge yourself to fake it. Talk to everyone and be friendly, even if you would never think you'd be friends with a person based on their appearance. You'll get to know everyone for what they are on the inside - and you'd be surprised how many people you can click with! Then make sure you follow up - hanging out, chatting, swapping stories and celeb gossip, etc. Once you find someone who shares your interests and feels like a comfortable friend, don't let them go because you feel awkward/don't wanna bother them <3

I'm 12 and I want to earn some money. But I can't do babysitting, petsitting, plant watering or dog walking. 'Cause there is no little kids or people I know well. And most of the dogs are dangerous. So what are some ways I can earn some cash? Oh and please don't suggest yard sales.




Hey babe,

It's kinda hard for businesses to hire 12 year olds (or really anyone under 16 years old) to work for them because of child labor laws, so it would be worth it to post flyers for babysitting or ask local people you can trust (your teachers/guidance counselor, clergypeople, librarians, etc.) if they know anyone who might need help with babysitting, petsitting, yardwork, or other housekeeping. You could also try making jewelry or art to sell at craft fairs, if that's a hobby. You could also ask someone at your school if tutors are needed for younger students, especially in classes that you excel in!
