Heh, I remember such times. You want money for Playstation. BMX, Walkman...? Earn it! Of course, kids rarely earn enough money for something relatively expensive, this was not a point. Money don't fall from heaven, there is no free lunch. Kids learn important lessons. So next time when go in shopping mall will not waste money on stupidity. HIS MONEY, money which they earn with his own hands. Nowadays shitty parents can't force his kids to do even simplest housework. Spoiled kids are too busy with his phones, they can miss some Very Important Twaat or Tik Tok videos if even for second stop to staring in phone screen.

And parents are ok. with this bullshit. Kids are quiet, so they can stare in his phones in peace.

Mowing yards was my first job at 11yo. I bought rollor skates with my saved up money. I could catch the ice cream truck on every street in our neighborhood with those skates. Mission acomplished

Boomers were the ones who raised the "safe space" generation of millennials and didn't let their kids go outside unattended to mow random peoples lawns because "the world is too dangerous nowadays".

Also, no kids make money on the internet nowadays despite what people at your retirement home might've told you. They still earn their own money nowadays.

In the late 1990’s, I made and sold beef jerky as well as held a part-time job at Lady Footlocker then at a bakery in a grocery store while being a high school 5A athlete who was captain and recruited. I busted my ass to fund everything I wanted. I flew across the country to see a girlfriend who moved. I bought a hoopty. I paid for my own auto insurance.

It feels like it would be a bit more difficult to pull that off now, but hard work still trumps all.

Hard work always pays off.
