New laptop (Maybe), need answers.

[Deathie]

Your kidding right?

$500 for 34 hours of work?

That's $14.70 an hour, that freeking over twice minimum wage.

What the heck are you complaining about. Your realize the standard work week is 40 hours right?

I got paid $20-50 a house, but it took anywhere from 3-8 hours to do a house, and your complaining about 20 min. Get out. Now.



You realize people in Mexico work all day for around $10, then they feed their family of 7 with that. I know this because I built a house for a guy as part of missionary work who had to live like this.

Keep in mind, I'd only be able to travel about a square radius of two blocks, and that 19-out of-20 times, it will be "No thanks."

You forget, I said it takes about 20 minutes do a single yard for 5$. Over the course of 4 hours, I'd most likely only get three-four yards done.

Why even discuss this? It's not like I'm actually going to do it ._.

You want a laptop, they aren't free or cheap. That's why we are discussing this. You said you want to get one by the end of the summer, so this is how you get one.
Go do odd jobs, and then when the end of the summer rolls by you use all the money you saved up from working and your birthday, and buy a good laptop that will
have no problem lasting you till the end of the year.

This is how things like this work.

Don't confuse me for a spoiled kid who doesn't know jack shit.
Seriously.
Don't.

._.

I only asked if that Video card would last me for the next year or so. I didn't want this to turn into a stupid argument because people are reading into things too much. Relax bro :c

I would pull the "YOU DON'T KNOW ME" card, but it's pointless.

Lock topic before any other shit stirs up, I don't want to be the cause of another flame war.

think about it. not everyone is a bitter asshole, and many have actual jobs. some people, if youre nice, they will also be nice, and say yes even if they dont need shit done, and they give you 20 dollars
just make yourself looks younger. wear shorts and a striped polo shirt. maybe use hearing aid

...am I the only one who would attempt to build the whole Lemonade stand scenario?

I apologize if it seemed I was accusing you of anything, that isn't my intention.


You said you wanted a computer that would A. last you till the end of high school, and B. capable of moderate video editing.
In addition You also said you had no steady source of income.

I'm just telling you how you a reasonable method you can get one, nothing more, nothing less.


I was slightly irked about the whole "Like I'd ever do something like that" attitude.
The main reason being, is I've been in your exact same position when I was a kid.

I really wanted a blow-gun (they are badass), Main problem was they cost ~$200 + darts and stuff. I also didn't have any money to buy it with.

So I mowed lawns. And these are Alaskan Lawns, which generally are 2+ Acres, and on the side of a hill. Not all that fun. But I did it anyway, and didn't get my blowgun.
Instead I got a paintball gun

...am I the only one who would attempt to build the whole Lemonade stand scenario?

I also attempted this as well, didn't pay that well, but I think that was more of a case of location (we kinda set it up on a steep hill, but there was a pull off so...)

SO HARD.

Ehh, I guess I'm guilty of reading into it too much. :L No hard feelings?

I was slightly irked about the whole "Like I'd ever do something like that" attitude.

Wasn't trying to give you that impression. I've done odd jobs, like you've said. Last year, I designed the website for my local street fair for a hefty 100$ (Had to keep it managed, as it was semi-annual, as in updating photos and stuff). I just feel my time would be better spent to something of my skill as opposed to "mowing yards".

So I mowed lawns. And these are Alaskan Lawns, which generally are 2+ Acres, and on the side of a hill.
Ohshi--
Most people here prefer to cut it themselves anyways, seeing as the yards themselves are tiny.

Also, about the lemonade stand,

That would only work if I can get my 5 year old brother to sell it for me ._.

Everyone would buy from an adorable little kid, not from some random teenager :L



Also, rereading this, I can see how I'd come off with the "like I'd ever do that" attitude that you put it in. Try something like "Why do this, when I can do this, which would be easier and be something I enjoy?". I know that's everyone's goal, but I'm actually on track of doing it. c:
