i’ve found some cool things at the mall that i might want to buy and i’ve got enough money to buy the stuff but my parents don’t want me like spending my money and so i want to like earn some through any means so that maybe that’ll show them i can fend for myself at least a bit
one thing i might need to say is that i’m not old enough to like work at like a mcdonalds or whatever so there’s that
all thoughts are very much appreciated
If you are not old enough to work and your parents can tell you how to spend your money, then you should listen to your parents and not buy some "cool" sh+t you saw at the mall and that probably you wont use anymore in a couple of years.
Save your money and invest them, you'll be gratefull in 20/30 years from now.
hmm i can like see where you’re coming from with like spending money on stuff that won’t amount to anything to an extent
with that in mind then on what should i invest with my money
edited a typo
Invest in tools/machines so you can make stuff and work for yourself. There are plenty of YT tutorials on how to do it.
I bought a 3d printer for me, but a couple of people have asked for some prints, i have earned more or less about the worth of the printer itself. And im not even trying to profit from it.
I just bought my laser engraver, has not arrived yet, but I WILL use that one for profit. And in the near future I hope, ill try to get my hands on a CNC carving machine.
I saw a guy that has a bush trimming machine (dont know the name in english of the the thing), an air blower and an water pressure machine. Neither too expensive. Then he goes house to house asking people if they want their yard cleaned up.
There was going to be a planned expansion on my house. So I bought tools over time to make furniture and stuff.
At the end, We didnt expanded the house, but I ended with a complete shop. Im not actively working on it, cause I do have a job, but I have made some stuff and sold it too.
So, in the event that i end up without a job, I always have something to fall on. Invest in tools and machines, even if you arent working, anything you get of spare money, save it and get a tool, even if its cheap. They tend to pile up over time if you dont break them.
Edit. Our generation was prepared to work for some one else. I wish I had done this 20 years ago.
Dont be like me. Start your own profit endeavor young, so you end up retiring at my age, not starting.
hmm the idea of investing on tools and stuff sounds cool and it does interest me i’ll look into it and find out what i can do
learn a skill and use it, ex: design (even if AI creates logos better than humans for smaller price and better quality in smaller time) or programming

it's my two cents so to speak but this is a horrible idea. if you like it or not contemporary society is based on money. when you are young you need to associate money with good things in like, a subconscious pavlovian way, which implies buying some nice things with it even if you got almost no money. if you don't do this, then it's possible that money becomes associated only with horrible times that you have to use it like medical emergencies, fines, hunger, or other negative emotion desperate payments. this bad subconscious conditioning can cause bad reactions in the future like anxiety when there is any money like in negotiations or even thinking about paying for nice things or in the worst case even when you see or earn money. so get good associations instead of bad associations and then you'll be grateful in 20/30 years from now.
the idea of
@alientcp is very good too

i don’t have enough knowledge (or maybe experience for the lack of a better word idk man) to give you like a proper response myself but i think i’m getting the point of what you’re saying
I've heard people say canon printers are good
