I'm only a teen and live with my family. I more or less hang on what I get for my birthday, Christmas and Easter (yes, I get money instead of chocolates)
Sometimes I fall back on a money stash I have, which is added to everytime I get paid for writting out the answers to an exam, doing some assement task or something or other for other students at school, sometimes I'll tutor them for a test too.
Even selling a few guppies, decorations and pond weed for a couple dollars adds to it.
But, on the occassion, I'll fall back on my parents good will and my good grades help push things in my favour.
I'm out for a job now too, so that'll be adding to things soon aswell.
 
I had to choose number 1. I make my own money, just about anything including clothes I pay for, sometimes food falls into that equation. I've paid for everything pertaining to school, car, cloths and the aquarium.

I find it kind of funny though when people tell me I can't work full time and go to school full time as well. they look at me like I'm trying to convert matter to energy when I tell them I'm looking for a full time job., lol.

I work 3 jobs. two of them are under the table and I work at them when I want to. I sold my soul to hippies (Whole Foods Market) and work for them full time. Im trying to pay off my debt and buy a house before Im 30. Yard sale I cant stress that enough. I've picked up many compleat setups for under 30 bucks. Yea you have to clean em but its worth it. Also ask friends and neighbors if they have any old fish tanks they want to get rid of thats how I got my 55 gallon and 30 gallon for free!
 
I work to get my money for fish and have bought some things on ebay to save some money, like aquariums and filters and other equipment. I also have traded cherry shrimp and some goldfish to LFS for other fish.
 
I got a 13 year old who makes money doing lawns, picking up poop, and baby sitting. She is a work horse.

Are you saying you have your 13 year old work to support your fish addiction? Believe that's against child labor laws :nono:
