Because my 17 year old sister makes 12 dollars an hour

working at a private school, and I make 8.20 serving food, and 8.35 modeling for a private university.

Today I did math.
Here's my idealistic number: 5,760.
For what? you ask.
For this: let's say that this summer I have a full time job making 8 an hour.
40 a week at 8= 320
let's say 18 weeks= 5,760

Now let's be realistic, shall we?
Let's say I only really work 15 weeks, because I decide to take a trip to Minnesota, and Montana, and California. That's three weeks goodbye.
4,800

take away 60 dollars a month for my phone bill (240)
take away at least half of my dentist bill (300)
take away 150 a month for rent (600)
and then take 50 a month for groceries, gas, and what ever else I waste my money on (200)
a trip to Minnesota (300)
a trip to California (150)

My bank account at the end of September could potentially have
3010
take away 10% for tithing
2709

how much will the government take?
I'm going to give them 200, because I'm not actually sure:
2509.

I feel pretty good about that.

I know that it's a pittance, but really. When's the last time I had 25 hundred to save?

BTW, my rich sister Mary doesn't have to pay rent or buy her own food.
and she makes almost 4 dollars an hour more than I.

dang.
