If you stay home and raise your family then they will turn out better than kids that have working parents that do not spend time with there kids that much. Plus with each parent working it puts stress on the marriage which is why marriage failures have increased within the last 50 years.

Let her know that you will not get the money until you turn age 35. It will give you more time to learn how to judge the intentions of this one and others. Do not broadcast you inheritance to any more people!

you are a blessing to your family so you should be envied and praised. people who would criticise you are really jealous for not being able to have the 'luxury' of being a stay home mom and wife. you deserve a lot more than even a 6 figures pay. what you do to your kid will positively influence him as he grows up.\n\n20 years ago, most wives would stay home while the husbands bring in the doe but competitiveness, high cost of living, etc are forcing the women to work as well, causing the family and family relationship to suffer.\n\nyou belong to a privileged group of non-working wife/mom who has a husband who can afford to support the entire family. be thankful and do not let any criticism demoralise you.\n\nAnd Happy Mother's Day to you and all stay home moms out there.

I feel your ambition and desire to "earn" money is impressive for an eight year old. All my kids did was to put out their hands and ask for money just because they felt they had in coming to them. \n\nHere was my solution for them. It seemed to satify their money wants and needs and also taught them the value of a dollar.\n\nSince, at around your age, a regular job was impracticle, not to mention illegal, I offered them this option. I will create a list of duties and chores they might do around the house and within our home. Alongside these items, I put a dollar amount, which I would pay upon their satisfactory completition of those tasks. Most were basic things that are routinely done. Others were tasks that would come up from time-to-time. Below is a sample list.\n\n1. Taking out the trash         $2.00 each time\n2. Vacuum and dust the house    $5.00 once per week or each time as needed.\n3. Wash the family car.         $5.00 per car, per request\n4. Clean the family bathroom    $3.00 each time, each bath\n5. Make my parents bed          $1.00 per day\n6. Do the Laundry               $2.00 per load (folded, of course)\n7. Painting                     Price Negotiable\n8. Cut the grass                $10.00 more or less depending on the size of your lawn.\n\nAnyway, I think you get the picture.\n\nThis will not only teach you the effort involved in earning money and it's value, it will require you to meet the standards of excellence your parents (your employers in this case) demand for their money. You see, in all jobs an employee is evaluated periodically for the quality of his or her performance. If they do really well, they may get a raise. Usually they are evaluated after the first 90 days, then every 6 months or year thereafter.\n\nPlease remember this! In all jobs, employees whose performance is poor or does not meet the expectations of their employer(s) (in this case your parents) could get fired or terminated. They may also be reprimanded for things like insubordination (talking back), misconduct or such things as not meeting the required deadlines. Things like these may delay "raises" and bonuses. If your parents are creative they might offer bonus' like a new pair of jeans or shoes, etc.   \n\nAsk your folks if they would agree to an arrangement like this. If they say yes, contact me and I will help you make up a Contract (A formal Agreement). This, for you, will be another great learning experience. By the way, things like raises and bonus' could be included in your Agreement with them. Think about it.\n\nGood luck.\n\nTennis Ball

First of all, allow me to applaud your decision to earn your own money. This shows that you have a definite grasp of the concept and value of a hard earned dollar. I agree with the other answers that you should look into a part time job at a local business with your parents signed consent.

If your involvement with the families was through your job, it is probably considered part of your work duties.  Therefore, the only compensation you should receive is your paycheck, not from the family.  Double check with your supervisor or legal counsel at your job.

You are an ambitious teenager. That's great. Saving, what a smart idea. Ask your mother or father to bring you to their bank to set up a savings account for you. I had a luney tunes account at the bank, thought it was the coolest thing. Work to earn your money and put it in the bank when ever you accumulate a good amount ($40-$60). Convince your parents how nice it would be to have their house cleaned from top to bottom every week, and how much  you want to do it in order to save money. Talk to your father, I think they are more interested in your financial situations. Remember, you will be saving from now until the day you retire (house, vacation, new car, Christmas gifts, the list goes on..). Now is a great time to start.\n\nOh, and please dont fall for these silly, fake "online money makers". Get out and do it the old fashion way, like your supposed to.

the total income of the household is revieewed and you could loose it if your spouse has a good income.  Uncle is careful not to give too much or you might be able to get a life.  Unless you want children marriage is only a piece of paper. Check things out before you make a mistake.

No, it's not just your family.  I think it has something to do with knowing your family, and what is behind them wanting you to do something for them.  The history is there to draw from, and with a stranger, we never know what to expect ... We've all had family members that only need us when they want a certain thing from us.  That grows tiresome after a while and your less likely to give freely, without resentment.\n\nBut I find I don't ask my family for much EVER, because I don't seem to be given to freely without a big hassle of them pretending they want to, then complaining about how it put them out for minimal reasons, I don't impose on them, now if I really need something, or get into a tight spot with my schedules I rely on friends to back me, as I would for them, it's much more freeing to give and receive without someone keeping track of who owes who what.\n\nBut I have seen families that were worse than mine, like a family that had the understanding of "anything I do for you has a pricetag, and I expect you to pay me for it"....I couldn't imagine having a family member needing to move and if I had a truck telling them the rent on the truck was $30.00 a day and the gas needs to be on full when it's returned. Or helping them sell a car by giving your telephone number to someone and expecting a finders fee of half the profits, when you already paid them to help you fix the car up...I find those things odd.

I personally do not need the money not that I am rich but my husband and myself make enough to pay the bills and feed the kids and what more can one really ask for. My parents on the other hand are having a hard time finacially since my dad retired. I have been trying to help but with 3 kids of my own I cant always help them as much as i would like.So I guess I am asking for them.

A man who puts his family before everything.  I respect a person more like that.  And people that are like middle class and lower, are typically more happy.  It may not seem so, but think about how stressed you would be if you had all that money.  Things are not what they appear to be sometimes.

You should be more interested in the job than the money.  If it appears you are fixated with money that may take away from other personal values.

Go for the more logical step with better prospects. After you have worked hard and made money then you have the freedom to follow your dreams!

The tough thing here is we have a lot of definitions of "middle class", much less wealthy. \n\nPoor or low income=Under $20,000\nMiddle is somewhere between $20,000 and $75,000 but \nUpper Income is generally defined as over $200,000\nWealthy are those that make over $1,000,000 a year\n\nFormerly in the financial wealth management(financial planning) biz, I can tell you everyone uses different standards. But, in general, wealth is determined by a mix of net worth and annual income. (Someone making $100,000 yet has $1,000,000 in assets or someone who makes $800,000 yet has only $200,000 in assets would both be potential clients-as yes, they both exist.\n\nI've also noted that the more money one makes, the more tax deductions and credits they can take advantage of-there are few deductions for most middle class excepting mortgage interest or child credits yet at $200,000 and up, believe me, there are many!\nI've seen a $500,000 income reduced to $38,000 "taxable". If you have a nice income, pay for a good tax attorney!  \n\nAs to the Democrats, the estate tax only benefits the "rich"-those with over $2,000,000 in assets and will increase to 3.5 million so I believe that will be back on the table. I believe they will concentrate first on the obvious-the upper rates of $200,000 and above. We somehow have to pay for this debt we've accumulated from the lowering of taxes(revenue) and the cost of the war. It really matters not whether Republican or Democrat-when a business(or the government) loses a source of income and costs go up, you must find a way to pay! The US Govt has a lot better credit than most but sooner or later....so I'd personally be willing to give my tax break back-it wasn't much at my $40,000 a year income-and I hate to pass on the debt to my son.\n\nAnd a piece of advice-the 401k is one of the best savings vehicles ever-contribute all you can up to the limit but especially whatever your employer matches.A great deal for any income bracket!

Yeah, remember money is the root of all evil?!  Our society has taught people to totally be into status and things, possessions, including one's home.  People feel no guilt whatsoever putting their children in daycare possibly with adults that don't even like them, as long as they can continue to drive the nice car and live in the nice house.  Personally, I have an education but have chosen to let my husband make a worthwhile living, while I stay home and make my family's living 'worthwhile.'  Not everyone has that opportunity, guess I'm lucky.
