How old is everyone?
#113
RE: How old is everyone?
I grew up in a pretty ritz area. I always bought my own vehicles (with the exception of half of the first one that my dad helped me buy for graduation) but all in all it was up to me. I didn't have a "job" until I was 17 but have been raising 4-H animals since I was 9. That taught me a lot about finances and money management with an end product always in sight. But growing up was hard with all the kids who would drive there brand new cars to school on their 16th birthday and go out that weekend and total it and bring a new one back on Monday. RIDICULOUS. I wish kids that I grew up with new a little something about money but they don't. Oh well. I may still live at home but that doesn't mean that I have a free ride. I still pay my share around the house and ALL my bills associated with me. And as soon as I find a place to go, I'm gone. Women don't really want to come back to the parents house you know.

I was very lucky, my parents moved out of our house and left me to take over the bills. Even though I had some troubles early on they just let me pay a bit less those months and still split the profit of the house when sold a few years later. My parents were and are very good to me and have taught me how to be a good father to my kids. I didn thave to jump into a house they let me ease into it, while it is tough at first it is the greatest thing to hav eyour own space. On top of all else, yea, girls dont want to come home toyour parents house!

In MN, at 15 you go through a driver's training class and when you pass that, you get your learners permit. You can drive with someone over 18 in the car. Not sure about restrictions, if any. After you pass your test, you have to have 6 hours of behind the wheel training and have your permit for at least 6 months before you can take your drivers test (you also have to be 16 before taking the drivers test) and if you pass, you are free to roam about the roads.

And yea I here you about rich kids that have no idea of the value of work. The high school I went to had some native americans that get a ton of money from the casino they have on the reservation. They would show up to school in their brand new hummers one day and something else the next day.
