We have this nice dog pen right? Well from Ben theres a few holes dug in there and my dad is asking me too fill them in. We live on the edge of town so we have this lot behind us. Theres a big dirt hill and what I'm supposed to do is take the wheel-barrel, fill it with dirt, bring it back and fill in the holes.
Well, my dad was like, "Will you be able to do it?" I'm like "...No :p" Then he said "I'll pay you". I asked how much and he said it depends how long it takes me to get it done. He said if I get it done this week then he'll pay me $50 dollars but he said if I get it done next week only $25. I'm planning on getting it done this week XD I dunno about you guys, But $50 is alot to me.
So have you ever done a big project or chore worth big bucks? (or are you a spoiled brat who never had to work a day in their life and gets everything they want? >:( )

I do stuff too but I don't get paid D: Like I have to clean the kitchen.....Thats plain torture right there. Everyone makes a huge mess and theres alot of things that are hard to identify XD It's really gross sometimes ._. But honestly, I do like working for my money and not just getting it handed to me or else I feel guilty ;P
I plan on finally buying an ipod once I get the rest of the money :D

Yep, paper routes. I like doing them but the people get annoying. XD But then again, you have the people who give you the 6 dollar tips. XD so yeah, it has its good and bad points. Then there's the people who give you the 25 cent tip. >.> XD
people tell me "GO BUY YOURSELF SOMETHING!" Buy myself something with a 25 cent tip? XD

XDDD Actually, my mom buys me stuffs instead of an allowence...I don't know why, but I'd prefer to earn money instead of..junk...xD
YES I DO WORK TOO..I HAS TO CLEAN AND STUFFS..AND HELP MY BROTHER WITH HIS HOMEWORK..WROST CHORE POSSBILE RIGHT THERE..SEEING AS I HAVE MY OWN XD
I unload the dishwasher, load it. Wash, fold, and put away clothes, take care of both dogs, babysit, clean up dog crap, cleanup the house, and make sure my room is pretty much always neat. I do ALOT. I get paid $10 every two weeks, I sometimes do "odd-jobs" like next summer (we were SUPPOSED to do it this summer. >.>) me and my sister are going to paint the fence for my Dad. We're getting paid alot for that. I also baby-sit for a Missions Conference every couple months, this past time I was working 9-11 hours a day babysitting 10+ kids (with help of course. o.o xD). And then I'd work in the kitchen as well. ._. 55 hours total, in that 5 days, it was LONG. o_o Constantly on-your-toes work. >.> But I got paid over $300...soo. :] XD I have to pay for pretty much everything though, books, toys (not so much anymore..xD), video games, DSL, my MP3 player, and everything..ya. Also I give to church regularly, and I have to pay for about 2/3 of camp. (This year that was about 200 dollars. :)) Ya. :o
That's weird. My dad made me dig UP weeds in the backyard for $50 I think. But what he wanted was ridiculous; he told me not to smack the house with the shovel, but it's a strip of grass (Used to be for growing fruits before we moved here). He wanted all of it out, and you can't do that without hitting the house. So I never did it.
But for other chores.. - Laundry. - Dog's wonderful art outside. (pewp) - Dishes. - Make dinner. (My mom got lazy.) - Mow the lawn. - Take care of 4 dogs and 2 guinea pigs. (Believe it or not the guinea pigs are harder.)
$20 a month for mowing the lawns, more depending on how much extra work I do.
I get a $10 allowance every week. But usually, I don't get money on the spot for doing something. Only my allowance. (xD u liek dat sign!!!//////11!1!1111///11!)
I do chores, but don't get an allowance. My mom buys me clothes and stuff instead. =P I never get paid for doing something extra. I have to do it "because I'm part of this family, and we all have to work together to make everything work." =P
