Need help with what to do with my money?

Question

I get an allowance of $20 every week, well I want to give $16 a month to the WWF but I'm also trying to save up $4,000 to have a trip to Rome or Hawaii by next summer, I no Rome and Hawaii cost way much more than that but my mom and I got a discount on the trip. But my mom always blows her money so its up to me to save the money up. Which should I do? I cant do both b/c I would also like to have a little spending money for CD's and stuff. What should I do?

Answer 1

my suggestion is to but scratchies every week and hope u win a jackpot... wb to [e-mail]

Answer 2

well.. 20 dollars per week, 4 weeks in a month, 12 months in a year

20x4 = 80

80x12=960

so even if you save up all ur money for the whole year, you still wont have the 4000 dollars u need. so i suggest doing whatever u want, give money to wwf, buying cd;s and stuff

Answer 3

If you want to have $4K by next summer then you are going to have to get a job.  You will need to earn about $450.00 per month.  That is not including your allowance.  If you were to save up 75% of your allowance, you would only need to earn $390 per month.  If you can't get a "real job", then make a flyer listing work that you will do and the prices that you will charge. You could:

Babysit

Pull weeds

Mow lawns

Wash windows

Do general housecleaning

Run errands
