It sucks because people won't hire guys for babysitting if they have an option of a girl. I don't blame 'em. Most guys my age are completely irresponsible.
Well since my parents gave me a place to live, I have to clean the toilets, cut the grass, pull weeds, vacuum, dust, mop, trim the bushes, walk my dog, give him a bath, wash the dishes, organize the counters so they don't get cluttered up, etc. for free. I have a few jobs to make money though, I umpire, then after baseball season is over I work at the pool(that lasts until the winter, because of the repairs and tidying up for next year that we have to do), and occasionally I'll take care of a friends cat for a few days.
Umpire=$25 per game
Pool=$8.50 an hour
Cat=$5 per day(but it only takes like ten minutes to feed them etc)
My parents don't beleive in Allowance. So to get my Wii i saved up birthday money. I had to babysit to get most of the money. The kids stay the night at my house while i was babysitting them. So now my mom found me work,to paint something for a neighbor. I'll get $20. But im giving it to my neighbor Nate as a Birthday present. He wants to get a Brearded Dragon but he has to save up to.
Thats how i get my money.
