Anyone good with money.? -

I am buying my boyfriend a blue ipod nano for christmas, and i already have $82 plus $11 in change that i have to take to the bank an cash in. I want to save $160 because the ipods are $150, but the extra $10 is for taxes and everything. So as of right now i have $93 dollars. How can i earn the rest of the money. I already have a job working 4 days a week, but my paycheck isn t much. Since i m only 16 still in school and don t get many hours. I plan on putting $20 more dollars in there with my next paycheck. Any suggestions on how to get the rest of the money? |::::|Sweetheart, this is much too expensive a gift. No boyfriend wants his girl to spend all her money buying him a gift. This would make me feel terribly guilty, and I bet your boyfriend would feel the same. You must really love this guy and your unselfish attitude is truly commendable, but he needs to feel like he is not a financial drain on you. Get him something small; it doesn t have to be expensive or fancy as truly men just want to know we were remembered. I hope this helps; good luck!|::::|Well, if you cannot afford it so easily, I would recommend that you buy something cheaper. It is a Christmas gift right? So the most important thing is your feeling toward him. Not the price of the gift. I love my husband so much and I wish I could buy him a really nice gift that he has wanted for a long time. But, I cannot. It costs a lot and again, if I cannot, I will not buy it. I like my mother in law, but I will not be able to spend a lot of money on her either. So I will spend only 10 dollars for her. That s only I can afford. |::::|I beg you, please listen to Kager s advice - he s right. Spending every penny you have on a piece of electronics for your boyfriend is not a good idea. Please find something cheaper. Spending more money doesn t prove that you love him more. He s already lucky to have you, he doesn t need all your money too.|::::|im 15 and i babysit the kids that i coach. i almost never spend my money and just from the beggning of the school year i have 980 dollars saved up.|::::|Call your relatives, and or friends and see if theres any babysitting jobs available for you. Or maybe offer to do odd jobs for neighbors.|::::|Sell stuff on Craigslist, ask your parents or other friends for some pocket money, try to put in more hours at work, sell plasma at a blood center, ask your boyfriend s parents if they might chip in some. |::::|ask mom or dad for a small loan or do some side jobs like babysitting or gardening work.|::::|why don′t you buy him something cheaper?
