Author Topic: Are your parents cheapskates?  (Read 2486 times)


My parents work their hardest at getting money.

They are not cheap.

We are just a little poorer.

Back in my day, I had to plow the entire field for a nickel! And I didn't have a choice. It was plow the field for a nickel, or for free.
True that.

A nickle a day keeps poverty at bay.  :cookieMonster:

Yeah really, you should be happy you get paid anything, its called chores I'm sure since they're willing to pay you they'd let you take your time with it so just do a little here and a little there, then when you're done ask them if you can get a video game instead of the money.

When was that? 1812?

Do you want ten bucks? Do it. Don't want ten bucks? Don't do it. It's simple as that.

Bitch you get paid with the food you eat, the roof over your head, and all the stuff you got.

My dad pays me about 20 bucks if I help around the house, be it babysit my brothers, clean the floor, help out in the workshop, etc.

However, it's a rare occasion that my mom lets me spend anything over 20 dollars.

My payment is the $800-$1000 computer that I am building. :D

And I used to get $10 a week, but ideas and stuff die away in my family. We will start chores for a few months, and then they will fade out.

I'm doing this so I can get my friend a birthday present. Jeez.

Kids these days....lol They get paid for doing hardly nothing at all.

It's sad your parents have to pay you to even do stuff you'll eventually have to do when you move out on your own. Good luck getting them to keep up payments on that.

Man my parents made me do tons of chores. Mow the lawn once a week, empty the trash every day, clean my room everday, clean the kitchen every day, do the dishes every day, do the laundry every week. I never got an allowance, once every 3-4 months my parents would randomly decide to buy me one video game or a toy and I was pretty happy about that, I never begged for stuff. Now I have to do all those chores to keep living in the house now that I have my own job and go to college.

Every few weeks ill get a 10$ bag of beef jerky for doing chores

My dad will give me 3.60$ an hour for helping him with either an old truck or cutting/stacking/burning wood that we clear out.

And $10 for mowing the lawn.

My dad is pretty generous I would say.

I get 50 cents per 30 minutes of work, I don't have an allowance.
