Money Problem
Hey Pure,
I was 16 when I bought my first bike - a brand new 1978 KE 125. It was about $800.00. I know when I was 14 I couldn't make the $'s to buy one then. But at 16 I did.
When I was 14 I worked for the local dairy farmer cleaning ****, bailing hay, picking corn, and feeding cows. In the winter I was what they called a "School Boy Trapper" - Musk Rats, Coon and if I was lucky, a rare Red Fox (not really rare, just hard to trap). I would also shovel driveways in the winter. They were the best years of my life.
Maybe you can offer to clean construction sites in your neighborhood. If you can't deliver news papers, you could offer to fold them for the guy with the big route in your town. Perhaps you have a flower shop or tree farm that could use your help. You could try washing cars for a small time dealership. You could invest in a small add in the paper saying you need some work - this works.
You sound like a hustler Pure, so keep up the networking and you'll do just fine. If someone asks you to clean a spot on the floor, and you get down there and clean that spot without complaint, you'll be the boss someday.

when i was 12, i started washing cars at a local new car dealership. i couldn't reach the middle of the roofs unless i stood on an upside down crate!LOL i washed windows, shampood the rugs, vacumed seats, and cleaned those wheels and white-wall tires! i swept the shop, emptied the trash, broomed-off the snow off their new vehicles in the winter.
with a pillow behind my back, they taught me to plow snow in their rusted-out CJ5.......i LOVED IT!.....and i was being PAID to do it!
i did radio swaps in the new cars to. i even did a little "Rusty-Jones" rustproofing.......until a co-worker shot himself in the eye with the spray gun by accident.
i saved and INVESTED 90% of my earnings.....i spent 10%.
.......think about it........
