I was 8 and I found the meaning of life for
myself - buy a gaming PC. Powerful, beautiful, to play all games maxing
out. I spent the whole evening choosing options
online and found exactly what I needed ... for one thousand five hundred dollars. Dad, can you buy me a computer for for one
thousand five hundred? My family is not poor, but my father was obviously
taken aback by my request. For a long time, I went on and on about how
it is important for me and how my life will change for the better
and that I will become
the coolest guy in school. My father sat me down and told me to write
down all my income. But at first, I’m like, “Pff... Dad, I'm 8 years old, what income?” I give you pocket money. You receive money on your birthday. What else? And there were gifts on other holidays; when
my uncle or grandfather came; and when I went to the store, I got the change. So I wrote out all the sources of income and
the next month I was writing everything down in a notebook and putting the mone
y in the
jar. I saved about sixteen dollars. At this pace, I needed more than 7 years to
collect the sum. I came to my father for the second time. Think about how you can increase your income? I told all my relatives about my goal and
asked them to give me only cash as a gift. Most of them adequately accepted my request. One thousand five hundred dollars for a computer? Grandson, are you nuts? You'd rather find some job. I also began to ask, “should I go shopping”,
in order to keep the change, a
nd I began to visit the most “profitable” relatives
more often. My income rose to thirty dollars in the second
month. Time passed and I managed to collect more
than half the amount. I have never held that kind of money in my
hands. I decided to buy some components. I went to the store, bought a gaming keyboard,
a mouse... and the games for SonyPlaystation for two hundred and fifty dollars. Yes, I broke down and had to start almost
from the beginning. I never bought a gaming PC. But I learned two
vital lessons for myself: There are different sources of income. Including teenagers. Gifts from parents and relatives, pocket money
is a source of income. It is necessary to record all cash transactions,
income and expenses. Then there is a sense of control over the
situation. Tell your stories in the comments. If you liked the video, thumbs up
