Man my daughter gets nothing that she hasnt worked for and she has always earned money from doing extra stuff at home..to asking to get on the cleaning crew at Church. She knows how to balance a checkbook and we got her started early on knowing how to save..we signed a work waiver so that she could work at an early age at Chick-Fil-A..and she still has to pay for her on insurance, tags and gas

Wouldn't that be fraud?

I have a feeling he'll figure it out. Seems like a smart kid.

I agree Austin is a hell of a smart kid and has a great future ahead of him , he just needs to lean a work ethic

Thanks
