What I Spend My Money On

I am fifteen and i have recently started working at a corner store in my neighborhood. I work about twenty to twenty- five hours a week for minimum wage. I get paid every two weeks. My paycheck ends up being between one- hundred and two- hundred and fifty dollars. When I first started this position I was ecstatic to be receiving this amount of money so often. It was something that my parents would never have offered to me at a steady rate for my own personal expenses. But what I didn't know is that when you earn money there's a lot more that comes with it then just careless spending.
Once i attained a steady paycheck my parents saw no reason to lend me money. They still purchased all my food and gave me a roof to live under, but all of my personal expenses that were once taken care of for me were up to me. I still put money in a savings account for college and the rest was left for me. Some people might think that it is unfortunate that I have to use all my own money. But since there is no supervision over what I am spending it on, it is actually a very good thing... For me at least.
I spend the majority of my money on clothing. Articles that I once would have had to beg my mother to purchase for me for a special occasion are now in my closet without a second thought. My closet has expanded by at least half its size. I appreciated very much when my mother used to buy me clothes if I asked but it is a much better feeling to blow my cash and splurge on items without an adult conscience to damper the mood. A lot of my money is also spent on food. I will go out to eat with my friends, or go to the store and get junk food. I will sometimes pay for others too.
It is a very freeing feeling to be able ot purchase my own things and enjoy what I worked for.
