Hi, I'm a sophomore in high school right now
I'm starting my first job in like a week, and I need some help with budgeting.
The job pays $10/hr. It's a pretty decent gig. My plan is to work 10-15 hours for a while to see which schedule I can handle better while maintaining my grades, but I have made it a priority to not work over 5 hours during the week days.
My parents never really gave me any pocket money to spend on clothes and stuff I wanted, I usually just got stuff on my birthdays and my parents brought me clothes from walmart, costco, etc. So I am really looking forward to having some more leeway on things that I want to get.
Some of the things I want to get are;
1- A decent amount of fashionable clothes (buying a shirt or two every month?)
2- Saving up for a PC ( I've had my eye on a few budget PC's that will let me run the games and programs I want for like 500-800 USD)
3- Saving up at least 2k before the start of senior year (My parents want to hire a college counselor for me when I apply to colleges, but I'm not gonna let them pay for that outta their own pocket.)
4- A car. (This is like one of the last priorities on my list right now, because having a car is expensive, and my work place, gym, and friends are all walking distance from my house.
Any tips?
